Have Something to Say? Blog on Patch

With a Patch blog, it’s easy to keep your neighbors in the loop, share your opinion or start a discussion. 

Patch blogs are automatically featured front-and-center on the Benicia Patch homepage. When you post, right away the community can read about your school’s online auction, your thoughts on the new downtown parking lot design, or the cats that are available for adoption at the shelter. The topics are endless!   What do you want to share with your community? 

After you post, you can let people know about your blog post using Facebook, Twitter or email. And we’ll let Benicia know about your post by sending a link to our readers in our daily email newsletter. 

The posts of our most popular, active bloggers will be featured in the “Who’s Blogging” box! 

Some other Patch blog features: bloggers can now edit their own posts and moderate their own comments. (“Moderate” just means you can immediately delete comments that make personal attacks or use foul language.) 

On the homepage, scroll down to the featured bloggers section and click ‘start a blog.’

Give your blog a name, a description and then type what you want in the body. Choose a blog icon from the icons available, or upload your own photo. Then click ‘create your blog.’ 

Enjoy!
