Patch 101: Posting Announcements is Easy

Celebrate your accomplishments, weddings, promotions, etc. on Patch.

Are you the proud parent, sibling, grandparent, friend or admirer of a student who's made the honor roll? Did you earn an awesome promotion, get engaged or married? Share the good news on Patch. Whether your kid got straight A's for the first time, you've become a black belt, your company is looking for interns or you have a volunteer opportunity, Patch is the place to let it be known.

We have a category for almost everything (births, sports awards, religious occasions, thank you's, etc.), so feel free to post an announcement for just about anything.

Make sure you're a registered user on Patch (all you need is a name and an e-mail address) and you can upload your own announcements. Once logged in, scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Announce something to everyone" under the Contribute category.

In the announcement template, write a title. Select a category that best fits the announcement. Write a brief description. You can even add photos and video to accompany your announcement, and after posting, you can share the link with your friends and family.

It's that simple.
