Dad Blogs - Dad Blogs | FF Season II Week 9

Fatherhood Friday is both a day and a growing community of dads and moms sharing stories, ideas, photos and movies with one topic in mind - fatherhood. In a world that seems happy to deliver a message that dads are incapable buffoons, Dad Blogs is committed to changing that perception. The reality is, as we see it, parents today are more aware of parenting and the impact it has on their children and dads everywhere are becoming more active caregivers. If you don't believe me--check out the posts in our archives.

Did you miss it? The first initial installment of Dad Blogs Wordless Wednesday came and went. It was pretty cool and had decent attendance for the first week, but we expect a much bigger turn out next Wednesday, so if you want to promote your blog to a larger audience certainly keep it in mind. Why? First, Wordless Wednesdays are easy. Second, they show your readers another side of you via your skill with a camera. Third, it's just a cool way to journal your family life.

Remember these new items at Dad Blogs:

The DB News Feeds on the homepage is interactive. Submit your RSS feed link in the box at the bottom of the Dad Blogs homepage and your feed will begin to be parsed along with yahoo dad news and many others we have found across the net.

The Return of the Convention...sort of details the upcoming Modern Media Man conference coming up September 9-11th in Atlanta, GA. It's sure to be a can't miss event for dad bloggers and a great time to grab a frosty beer with yours truly along the way.

That's it this week--short and sweet. Enjoy Fatherhood Friday and have a great weekend!

This week I try to explain to my wife (and some of my readers) exactly how much time goes into having a blog and partaking in social media. I realized it's basically a part-time job at this point.

Hello, everyone. I'm new here, but thought I'd get my feet wet with a Fatherhood Friday entry. In this particular entry I talk about the fact that I'm a dad, I'm a blogger, but I'm not sure if I'm a Dad Blogger. The original entry was longer and there were reference to Swedish pop sensation ABBA, but my younger son Chris really wanted some computer time and I had to get to work anyway.

Enjoy your Friday!

Morning Dads. Happy FF. Over at my blog today, I take a simple plastic bucket and use it to bring about a mini-apocalypse. Oops.

I meant to say "there were references," not "there were reference" in the comment above. As a professional editor/writer, it was going to drive me crazy all day if I didn't correct that.

Oh, and I meant to introduce myself as well. My name is Rich.

Thanks.

Happy Fatherhood Friday!

What lame stuff do your kids love?

I mention a few over at dadtoday.com, but need some help to fill out the list - what godawful, shoot-me-now, mind numbing books, cd's dvd's are on repeat at your house because your kids somehow can't get enough of them?

This week I'm exploiting the influx of traffic from Dad-Blogs to ask for help raising money for my daughter's trip to Australia! Sorry about that, but I appreciate any help that can be given. smilies/wink.gif

Today's most is a short exploration of being a week away from actually becoming a father...twice over! We've scheduled the c-section for May 7th. Fear and excitement commingle in a cacophonous symphony in the key of "holy crap what did we get ourselves into?!?"

After a couple weeks off, I posted about toys today.

Also added CommentLUV after seeing it on some of your blogs. Would love your thoughts on the post and the my green toy poll.
