Blogging on Patch is easy. Go to the Dacula Patch blogs page and look for the “Start your own blog” button (If you currently have a Patch blog, you’ll see an option to “Post to your blog”). If you’re not already signed into your free Patch account, you’ll be prompted to do so. Once you’re signed in, you’ll be asked to do three things:

1. Name your blog. Ex. “Elect Jimmy Wilbanks Mayor”

2. Describe your blog. 

3. Choose a blog icon. You can choose one of Patch's available icons or upload a photo of your own.

Once you have done those three things, click "create your blog." After you've done that, you'll have the option to create your first blog post. Look for the "Add photos/videos" to add your photos (or video) to your post. Once you've picked a title, written your post and added your photos, just click the "Post now" button. Your photo blog post will immediately appear on the home page.

If you have the Patch iPhone app, you can post photos to your blog straight from your phone.
