Patch Academy Coming to Seacoast Thursday

Hampton-North Hampton Patch allows its followers to use the site in so many ways to learn about what is happening around the towns and to share information.

On Thursday, March 22, the editors of Exeter Patch, Hampton-North Hampton Patch and Portsmouth Patch will join forces to hold our first Patch Academy at Me and Ollie's Bakery and Cafe on Pleasant Street in Portsmouth from 2 to 4 p.m.

We want to show you, our readers, how to: upload photos and videos to our Patch sites; use Places, our business directory; and introduce you to Local Voices, a special section where members of the community can have their own blogs to write about things about which they care.

We also want to show you how we use social media like Facebook and Twitter to share our stories and interact with readers. Patch Academy is free and open to everyone, so please stop by, talk with us and learn about all of the great ways that Patch can serve you and your community.

We look forward to see you in downtown Portsmouth at Me and Ollie's on Thursday, March 22.
