Add the Alameda Post App to Your Smartphone Home Screen

Although we make the contents of our website available in so many places around the internet, having the Alameda Post available directly from your smartphone’s home screen is a big time saver. Social media algorithms don’t always show all our followers every one of our posts. It can be a pain to open a browser window and find our bookmark or type in our web address correctly.
