How to Use North Canton Patch like Facebook

Did you know that you can use Patch just like Facebook?

It's like having a hyper-local social media hub. 

Here's how:

1. Create a profile page: Once you log in (with your full first and last name per our terms of use) you can upload a photo and information to your profile page. You can even login with Facebook!
2. Leave messages for other users: If you click on a user's name, it will bring up their profile page where you can "Leave a message for your neighbor" on the board. (It's the box located on the far right side of the page.)
3. Share photos: Patch has a sectionc called Pics & Clips. When you click on the "Gallery" tab next to the "Commute" tab, you have a virtual photo album to share your pictures. 
4. Join the conversation: Every post on the site allows users to comment. Feel like adding your two cents? It doesn't take long to type in your comment and hit submit.
5. Write posts: Blog! Any Stow Patch reader can blog ... about anything! There is no obligation.
6. Announce things: Getting married, having a baby, having a milestone anniversary? You can announce it to everyone instantly (and for free) by clicking here. 
7. Create events: Having a fundraiser, garage sale or any type of public event you want to share with everyone in North Canton? Upload a free event here. 

Even though you can use the site just like Facebook, don't forget to follow us on Twitter @NCantonPatch and on the North Canton Patch Facebook page!
