Fatherhood FridayFatherhood 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.

ff Last week was week two of Dad Blogs Wordless Wednesday and folks are turning out. Remember dad bloggers, Wordless Wednesday is just another way to promote your blog, grow readership and gain a following. It's also a way to rest your tired fingers once a week. Just upload  a photo and your done. Dude, that's easy. Keep Wordless Wednesday in mind if you want to promote your blog to a larger audience certainly keep it in mind.

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!

Hi everyone and Happy Fatherhood Friday! I am going to be seriously involved in Relay for Life activities here in Phoenixville, Pa. over the next 36-40 hours, so I didn't have time to write an entry for Fatherhood Friday. But I did make a short video that you can check out saying hello to fellow DadBloggers and others who have recently found their way to my blog (including the moderator of "the largest Tom Jones fansite in the world," who picked up on a video I made about Tom Jones last weekend and promptly added it to the homepage of the site. You can google "Tom Jones International" to find the site if you'd like.).

Thanks and I hope you all have a great weekend. I will read your entries, most likely once the Relay is over.

Regards,

Rich

Happy Fatherhood Friday!

This week I reposted an entry I wrote shortly after Bean was born about the need for support. Because even big manly men need help sometimes. smilies/smiley.gif

Today's the day. In just a little over four short hours, I'll be a father to twins. Not much of a post yet, but I'll update once it's possible to upload some photos. Wish all four of us luck.

On the friday before Mother's Day, it only makes sense to read the thoughts of the mother of all bloggers, Heather Armstrong. I recently got the chance to interview her and got the chance to ask her a number of questions, including one Joe Shatz was good enough to provide.

Read Heather's take on dad bloggers, her association with HGTV, and how she feels she's changed since her blog exploded onto the scene.
