Having Trouble Finding Burlington Patch on Facebook?

You're not the only one. Here are some helpful hints on how to stay in touch with us!

Every once in awhile, Facebook makes changes that users either love or hate.

Over the last few months, the social media giant has changed its "algorithm" on how to sort users' news feeds—which means that just because you signed up for a page's status updates, it doesn't mean you're going to get them. 

And we've heard from a lot of you that you hate that!

So how can you stay up-to-date with Burlington Patch?

1) Make sure that your Facebook account is set up to see pages' updates. If you click or hover over the "liked" button on our page, beneath our cover photo, you can choose "show in news feed." This will help you to see more of our posts!

2) Interact! A lot! The more you interact with our Facebook page, the more the Facebook Algorithm thinks you like it. Which means it'll show up in your news feed more often.
