Five Reasons You Should Blog on Lexington Patch

Lexington Patch is launching a new blogging platform this week that will give residents the opportunity to offer their opinions on their own blogs.

We have signed up some great Lexington residents to take part, but we’re looking for even more.

Here are five reasons why you should blog on Lexington Patch:

1. It’s easy. You get signed up and then with a few clicks of a mouse, you will be able to put your thoughts and expertise on the website.
2. The time commitment is up to you. Whether you want to do it daily, weekly, monthly or less frequently, the time you put into your blog will depend on your schedule.
3. It’s your voice. There will be very little editing done to the blog entries. The editor will check for libel and quality issues and may correct a typo and comma, but will not change much on your blog.
4. You get to share your knowledge and expertise. Whether you like politics, local government, the Lexington Public Schools, realty, crocheting, cooking, gardening or garden gnomes, you have a place blogging for Patch.
5. You get to meet others with similar interests. You will find people with similar interests and share information, including discussing politics, figuring out new recipes, getting tips about lawn care and learning about the great things happening in the schools.
