Trick for Posting on Patch
Here's an easy fix for inserting paragraph breaks and links into your blog post, events, announcements, "Speak Out" posts and other content on Patch.
Dear Patch users,
We have an easy fix for a couple of problems encountered by those who've begun entering posts on our new Patch platform. This applies to most posts – blogs, events, announcements, "Speak Out," etc. – except comments on articles.
Here are the problems:
- All the text ends up in one big chunk with no paragraph breaks.
- No option to add links.
Here's the workaround:
Go ahead and post the item. After it's posted, call it up on your screen, and you should see an "Edit" link at the top. Click it and go back into the post, where you can add paragraph breaks, links and other formatting, such as bold type or italics.
We apologize for technical hiccups in the new platform, which is still going through its beta upgrade.
We also welcome your feedback and suggestions on the new Patch. Just click the green "Feedback" button on the righthand edge of the screen.
We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
