Dads Invading The Interweb

Earlier today I was reading one of my favorite blogs - A Good Husband - and came across a post from Cory where he shared the news that he had made the Daddy Blog List.

When I visited the Definitive Daddy Blog List to take a look at Cory’s inclusion, I realized that Dad Balance had also been included in the list!

In addition to sharing the link to the Daddy Blog List, Cory shared a few other links that are of interest to dads and I thought that I would share a few of those here as well to help spread the word to other dads that might be looking for sites with their interests at heart.

Dad Blog Lists

When I started this blog, I have to admit that I searched for blogs being run by dads and many that I found appeared to have been abandoned. Unfortunately my cruise around the Interweb missed these sites and that is why I want to share these outstanding lists of blogs that are run by men - most of them are fathers - and have a focus on topics of interest to dads:

• Definitive Daddy Blog List :: After a recent update, this list now stands at 184 blogs being authored by dads. While there are a few familiar names on this list, I’ve discovered quite a few more that are well worth the read. Keep an eye on this list as it continues to grow and leave a comment if you have a dad blog that is not currently listed.

• 101 Awesome Sites For Men, Husbands And Fathers :: This is another great list of sites that will appeal to the men in the crowd. The nice thing about this list is that it contains a few different categories, including: blogs by fathers, how to and resource links, men’s general interest and more.

• 51 Dad Blogs :: 51 Dad Blogs is, well…a list of 51 blogs authored by dads. While this list is not a living list - meaning there are no new additions, you will notice a few of the blogs highlighted here are on the list. If you have a dad blog that is not listed, send an email to Jared to let him know about your blog and be sure to check his out as well as there is some great information.

Social Networking for Dads

While browsing through all of this information today, I also had the opportunity to check out Dad Daily. This is a social network exclusively for dads and now has 216 members, including yours truly.

There are discussion forums, groups, photos, videos, and gadgets to browse and share with other dads. As with any social network, Dad Daily will be as valuable as the members make it and I am hoping that this can be a great resource. It does appear that some forums are more active than others but hopefully more dads will continue to sign up and build the network.

When you have a few minutes, check it out and be sure to stop by my page (see below for a link) and say hello!

Help Spread the Word

This post is one means to help spread the word about dad blogs and hopefully give more publicity to some of the great blogs being authored by dads. There are many more ways to help spread the word, one of which is in place at a friend’s blog - Postcards from the Funny Farm.

Head on over to Damien’s blog and take a look at the header. You’ll notice that Damien is now running an advertisement for Dad Balance, thanks buddy!

If you would like to help spread the word about dad blogs, please jump in and share a list of your favorite dad blogs or join in on the fun over at Dad Daily and become an active participant. You can also help spread the word about Dad Balance by displaying the same banner as you see on Damien’s blog.
