Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Much like The Huffington Post has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience. Bloggers will work on a volunteer basis.
Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.
My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to Half Moon Bay Patch to ensure quality. I may make small spelling, grammar and style changes to help your blog shine.
