Coming Soon: Stamford Patch Gets a Fresh New Look

Good morning, Stamford, and Happy Monday.

Just a quick post to share some exciting news, as we prepare to introduce some new features that will help you better connect with neighbors, as well as new tools designed to help local merchants reach customers here on Stamford Patch.

Of course, we’ll still be covering the news that matters most to you, from the biggest stories in town to the smallest acts of local kindness.

Coming next week, Patch is putting neighbors and news on the same page—here’s how:

It’s a fresh new take on the local news you love.

We redesigned Stamford Patch from the inside out so you can find what you need faster and enjoy a smoother experience all around—at your desk, on your tablet or phone, and from your inbox.

Now with even more stories from Stamford.

We’ve also added more Local Voices to the front page. Now, you have dedicated reporting from Patch, plus the latest know-how and opinion from neighborhood bloggers—all in one place.

Introducing Boards—an easy new way to connect with Stamford.

These super-simple message boards make it easy to communicate and make things happen as a neighborhood—whether you want to post a big announcement, sell something or just speak up.

More to say? We’ve made it easier to start up your own blog, too.

Now you can start your own Stamford blog any time, and become a local voice on which your neighbors can rely. And for those of you who already blog with us, we’ve streamlined our tools so you can reach a larger audience in fewer steps.

Join us next week to experience these new and improved features for yourself. For a sneak peek, check out Stonington-Mystic Patch or West Hartford Patch and let us know what you think. You can also ask any questions—big or small—by emailing Senior Regional Editor Michael Dinan at michaeld@patch.com.
