Narragansett Patch Celebrates Its 1,000th Article

Narragansett Patch is celebrating a milestone of sorts this week, as we published our 1,000^th piece of content!

In a bit of irony, perhaps, the article was a piece on Narragansett Beer releasing its new Summer Ale. Given that I am of legal age to partake in such a beverage, I will be drinking one in celebration tonight.

For the curious number freaks amongst you, we’ve averaged about five pieces of content per day for our first 190 days. If you subtract the weekend, when we only run three pieces of content, the average shoots up to six per day.

Frankly, while I’m the sort of ego-driven dude that would love to take sole credit for such a happenstance, the amazing output is the result of a dedicated crew of freelancers and contributors. has also done an incredible job in getting submissions from people. (Note: “Ambassador” is not an official title, but it seems appropriate for her, and she has adopted it eagerly.)

Speaking as the editor, we hope for your continued support as we finish the year out, and celebrate our first anniversary in November. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail at Stephen.greenwell@patch.com, and tell me how you think we can improve.

I’m also always on the lookout for new contributors.
