Follow Groups to Personalize Your Patch

Most New Year's resolutions involve giving up or trimming down, but this new year Patch will ring in 2013 with more—more of the news you love and more tools to share the news you care about with your neighbors.

Here's one quick way you can make the new Patch your own:

Following 
Explore our groups page and hit the green "+ Follow" button on any group that catches your eye. You can always change it later and follow a different set of groups. Check back often! 

Now your homepage will show all the latest Top News plus posts from the groups you want—the same for your daily newsletter. You'll also know right away when someone posts a update or comments on something you said or created. 

You can even invite a friend to join you. Right after you follow, click the "Invite People" button to the right of the main group page photos. 

(And speaking of 2013 and Patch groups—don't forget to use Patch to help stick to your resolutions by creating your own health or wellness group. It's fast and easy. Again, invite your friends!)

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact thisRead More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
