Food Lovers, Blog on Smyrna-Vinings Patch!

Love to cook? 

We are looking for food lovers to share their passion on Patch.

Share recipes, kitchen stories, photos and more. Do you love breakfast, a good cake, a crisp salad, or a tasty vegetarian dish? We’d like to hear from you!

If you’ve never blogged with us before, here’s how to start your very own Patch blog:

• Choose a Patch to host your blog (Example: Smyrna-Vinings Patch). Go to that Patch’s homepage. 
• On the Patch homepage, scroll down below the stories and above the events. There’s a green box (“Who’s Blogging?”) highlighting our wonderful bloggers and a brighter green button that says “Start Blogging!” Click that bright green button to start a blog.
• Next you’ll name your blog, write a description and choose an icon. These will be displayed on all of your blog posts, so choose a name and description that describes what your blog will be about.
• Your blog is created! Follow the rest of the steps to post.

If you blogged on Patch before June 2013 or created a blog on Patch after June 2013, you can post on Patch without creating a new blog. Here’s how:

• In the top right corner, click the button that says “Hi, Your Name!” (You must be signed in to see this.)
• When the drop-down menu opens, click “Your Profile.”
• On your profile is a list of blogs you have access to. Choose which one you want to post on and click on it.
• Below the name and description of your blog, there’s a white box that says “Write a new post…” Click there.
• Above your cursor, there are two words: Note and Article. Choose article for more formatting options.
• Write! Don’t forget to add a photo
• Hit “Post Now.”
• You’re live on the site!
