Now You Can Post Stories Directly Onto Batavia Patch!

Got a public service to share or looking for volunteers? Do you have expertise or local knowledge that can help others? Post it on Batavia Patch!

We've always wanted Batavia Patch to be more than a news website. In its best and purest form, it should be a meeting place, a community forum, and place to share opinions, celebrate births, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, promote business and volunteerism and good works.

"Blog" sometimes has a negative connotation for some people, but it's really just another word for posting a story. Want to give it a try?

Here’s how you can get started right away.

  • Click here to go right to our blog creation page
  • Start writing. It doesn’t have to be perfect. (Just don’t use all caps!)
  • Upload a photo to illustrate your blog that you own or have permission to use. You can also just use a Patch logo offered on the page.
  • Hit “Create your blog”

Success! You Created a Blog! Now you can:
  • Write your first post
  • Share something and it will appear on the home page.
  • Dress up your blog.
  • Add cover photos.
  • Tell your followers on Twitter
  • Find your blog in the "Your Blogs" menu next to your Profile
Instructions and links are all right there on the page.

I can’t wait to read your first post!
