We're looking for bloggers who want to riff on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions in the Local Voices section of our site.

Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community.

• Are you passionate about north Tampa's core issues?
• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have a useful skill you'd like to share with our readers?
• Can you write in a compelling manner?
• Can you make us all laugh?

Then, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.
