This Father's Day, Immortalize Dad on Patch!

Need a Father's Day Gift? Tell your neighbors your dad's #1 right here.

Looking for Father's Day gift ideas? Well here's a new one — how about giving dad some Internet fame?

You know he's the world's greatest, but until now spreading the word has been limited to how many people might see a coffee mug, a barbecue apron, maybe a t-shirt.

But this is the 21st century.

There's no longer any reason to hide dad's light of awesomeness under the bushel of novelty drinking vessels and sportswear.

Imagine his surprise Fathers Day morning (which is Sunday June 17, by the way) when you hand him a laptop, smartphone or tablet and show him the glowing article you've written about him on Patch.

It's fun, free and easy to do too — just follow the instructions at this "Blog on Patch" link and you'll be ready to start in no time. You can even add photos and videos.

And you can use your blog any time you like afterward to write about anything happening in your neighborhood.

If you don't want to go the blog route- just upload a great photo of your dad to this story and write a bit about him in the caption.
