Today on Bedford-Katonah Patch: New Boards and a New Look

Hi! I’m Lisa Buchman, one of your Bedford-Katonah Patch editors, and I and my colleague, Patch Editor Ashley Tarr, want to welcome you to the new Patch. We’re really pleased with it and we think you’ll like it, too.

First of all, we think the site looks livelier, and more like Bedford and Katonah. See that big header photo on the top? That’s of our downtown Katonah shopping district of course, and the ones posted with this welcome are of our historic Bedford Village and Bedford Hills shopping districts—we thought they would be a nice way to welcome you all to this virtual community.

The big photo isn’t the only thing that’s better about Bedford-Katonah Patch. 

Now our news looks better—it's easier to comment on and to share. And right below the news on the homepage you’ll see blogs, where we can showcase more town voices and get a view of what’s happening beyond our own news reporting. 

Plus, we’ve made it easier to start a blog yourself —any time, about anything.

Speaking of readers' voices, the freshest thing you’ll find on the new Patch are our Boards. The Boards are a totally open place on Patch where you can post:

  • Announcements about anything you want—lost cats and dogs, school plays, wedding announcements, or that strange thing you saw.
  • There’s an Opinion Board—because everyone in town has one, so why not put it all in one place?
  • The Buy/Sell/Trade Board is where you can post your garage sale and get rid of the stuff that’s taken over your basement.
  • And there’s a Board for Business Updates—a dedicated spot for business owners to post news about sales, specials, openings and closings.

Patch is all about our community—living our best lives in town, and making our town better for ourselves and our families. So please, tell us what you think of the new Patch in the Opinion Board, or through the feedback form. We can’t wait to hear from you!
