Manival And Alltop :: Men On The Interweb

Through my use of twitter, I have had the pleasure of finding a growing number of dads invading the Interweb. When this site first launched as Dad Balance, many of the dad blogs that I found appeared to have been abandoned.

However, now I am finding that I just wasn’t looking in all the right places.

Two sites that I have found while tweeting, and have been thoroughly enjoying, are The Art of Manliness and Dads @ Alltop.

The Manival

The Art of Manliness is hosting the first edition of The Manival - a blog carnival that highlights some of the best posts written by men, for men. After learning about The Manival, I submitted one of the posts from The Man Page and was fortunate enough to have it included in this inaugural edition.

Blog carnivals are a great way to get your content out in front of a larger audience, but more importantly they provide a way for you to find more great content for your own reading pleasure.

Here are my favorite posts from The Manival:

• 7 Ways To Avoid Adding Housework :: GetGeekStrong.com shared a post that includes 7 ways to avoid adding housework for your spouse. Has your wife ever grumbled that she feels like she has an extra child around the house? Well, check out this list to ensure that you are not making more work for your spouse - or share this with your spouse if you do most of the housework.

• Three Little Words :: Could the secret of a successful marriage be boiled down to three little words? While there is a lot of hard work involved in a good marriage, The Night Writer has found that his marriage of 18 years is doing so well because he and his wife say those three little words to one another - and they probably aren’t the words you’re thinking about.

• Dos and Dont’s - Advice for Moms :: Discovering Dad discusses the idea that while more dads are taking ownership of their role as a parent, wives can provide even more inspiration for their husbands by following the dos and dont’s of motivating dad to get more involved.

Dads @ Alltop

In addition to being a participant in The Manival, I wanted to send out a note to let everyone know that The Man Page can now be found as part of Dads @ Alltop.

If you’re not familiar with Alltop, think of it as the uber-aggregation of articles from the top sites on the Interweb for 60+ different topics. This is a great way to stay in tune with your favorite sites on a particular topic as well as expose you to many new sites that you had yet to discover.

The Dads topic at Alltop includes so many quality blogs that are discussing the issues that men encounter on a daily basis. It is truly an honor to be included among this group of dad bloggers and I encourage you to browse through the list of dad bloggers, as well as all of the other topics.
