Today on Herndon Patch: New Boards and a New Look

Patch debuts a fresh new look today - here's why we think you're going to love it, even more.

Hi!  I’m Jennifer van der Kleut, your Herndon Patch Local Editor, and I want to welcome you to the new Patch. We’re really pleased with it and we think you’ll like it, too.

First of all, we think the site looks livelier, and more like Herndon. See that big photo on the top? That’s the incredible mural in downtown that featureds images of some of Herndon's treasured pasttimes and history.

But that big photo isn’t the only thing that’s better about Patch. Now, our news looks better, is easier to comment on, and is easier to share.

And right below the news on the homepage you’ll see blogs, where we can showcase more town voices so users can get a view of what’s happening beyond the news. Plus, we’ve made it easier to start a blog yourself -- any time, about anything.

And speaking of reader voices, the freshest thing you’ll find on the new Patch are our Boards. The Boards are a totally open place on Patch where you can post Announcements about anything you want -- lost cats and dogs, school plays, wedding announcements, or that strange thing you saw.

There’s an Opinion Board -- because everyone in town has one, so why not put it all in one place? The Buy/Sell/Trade Board is where you can post your garage sale and get rid of the stuff that’s taken over your basement. And there’s a Board for Business Updates -- a dedicated spot for business owners to post news about sales, specials, openings and closings.

Patch is all about our community -- living our best lives in town, and making our town better for ourselves and our families. So please, tell us what you think of the new Patch in the Opinion Board, or through the feedback form. We can’t wait to hear from you!

ASK US your questions and tell us your opinions about our new look in the comments below!
