Eureka-Wildwood Patch seeks family bloggers who are interested in sharing their thoughts on family life in the area. Family bloggers can post photos, videos and their advice and opinions on situations, events and issues.

If you live or work in the Wildwood or Eureka area, we invite you to blog on Eureka-Wildwood Patch’s free Local Voices platform.

Get started right here.

We regularly feature our bloggers on our Home page.

If writing isn’t your thing, Eureka-Wildwood Patch also is looking for photographers and videographers to send us images of life around town—or just around your community or street. We especially would apprecite photos and updates from all the sports-related events and games played by local athletes!

Moms, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles are welcome to blog as teams, and if your kids are old enough, why not start a family blog?

You can even blog about local issues that aren’t directly related to family life, including topics such as law changes and other stories that relate to kids and families. Or maybe you want to share a great sale you found, promote your upcoming event or share pictures of your kid's birthday party. It’s your blog, so you get to write what you want.

Kid Bloggers Welcome

You don’t have to know everything about blogging to get started, and it won’t cost you a thing, except a few moments of your time.

If you don’t think you’ll have time to keep up with a blog by yourself, remember that you can blog as a team with your siblings, parents or friends. We’d also be happy to have blogs from schools or teams in the area!

And to the students: if you're planning to go to college to pursue journalism, this is an ideal extracurricular activity and a great opportunity for you—and it will really enhance your college applications. 

It’s All About 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 means you post multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

While there's no pay involved, you'll get to put your valuable views on a site that is increasingly serving as a community hub. 

If you'd like to chat about the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, email julie.patton@Patch.com. If you're ready to get started now, you can get started here.
