Next Week, Palos Patch Gets a New Look

In less than a week, Patch will have a brand new design and a whole new way to connect.

Greetings denizens of Palos Park, Palos Heights and Palos Hills.

I am a big believer that change is good. Change forces us to answer important questions, though it usually all goes back to can we do better?

And the answer should always be yes.

With that in mind, I have some exciting news to share about Patch – we’re getting a whole new look. It’s coming next week. We feel it will make Palos Patch easier to use, and a better place to connect and share.

The best part? You’ll be able to see it all on your mobile phone.

Here’s what you need to know:  

Our site is being rebuilt from the ground up. The news will look better and be easier to comment on. And, you’ll find more local voices to keep you in the loop with the latest know-how and opinion.

We’re adding Boards to make it easier for you to connect with each other, debate an issue, or announce your garage sale, graduation, or find a lost pet.

More to say? It will be easier to start your own blog, too. You’ll soon be able to start your own blog anytime, so you can have a stronger voice in the community - or just share your expertise and opinion. And if you’re already a Local Voices blogger, you’ll find the tools are much more streamlined and straightforward.

You’ll see all of this (and more) on Palos Patch on Wednesday. For a sneak peek, check out Stonington-Mystic Patch.
