Blog On North Potomac-Darnestown Patch

North Potomac-Darnestown Patch recently made room for local bloggers on the site, and we're hoping you'll join in and add your voice and perspective on what it's like to live in our town(s).

Our bloggers are local activists, businesses owners and concerned residents. For a taste of what we're talking about, check out some of the folks who are already contributing to our Local Voices feature.

These include , North Potomac's resident politcal critic weighing in on issues ranging from the county council to the State of the Union, and a student blogger from Wootton High School, among many others.

But now we're looking for some others to join them—people who can riff on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions:

• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have strong opinions about local government?
• Can you just make us all laugh?
• Can you write compellingly?

Then, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your own blogs if you like. Much like The Huffington Post has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to North Potomac-Darnestown Patch to ensure quality. I may make small spelling, grammar and style changes to help your blog shine.
