New Patchogue Patch Homepage Debuts

We've refreshed our home page design to make reading, finding information and interacting on Patch easier than ever.

No, you're not losing it! Patch looks different as the day comes to a close.

We did a quick visual nip-and-tuck to the homepage to make it even more user-friendly. And we've moved a couple pieces of furniture.

• We moved, well, YOU closer to the top! Our "shout stream" is now front and center to show all your comments off ( and review our terms).

• We tweaked some words in our navigation bar to save space (e.g., "Traffic & Gas" is now "Commute")

• We moved the weather icon next to the Patch branding so you can find it more quickly!

• And of course we prettified a few things.

While the site might look a little different today, we still offer the same robust coverage of everything happening in Patchogue and Medford. That was, is, and will always be our mission.

So what do you think? Better, worse? Suggestions?

We hope you'll let us know what you think of our tweaks - drop me a line at michael@patch.com or offer a comment below!
