Have Something to Say? Blog on Patch
Blogging on Patch is a super-easy way to let your community know what you're up to. You can also post on behalf of an organization, school or community group.

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 Ballwin-Ellisville Patch homepage. When you post, right away the community can read about what's happening with your favorite high school sports team, your opinion about local politics, or what's going on at your favorite neighborhood business. 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 Ballwin and Ellisville readers know about your post by sending a link to our readers in Ballwin-Ellisville Patch's 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!
