Good news: Heard from Boston.com today, and Commuter Daddy has been added to their list of New England blogs.
I asked. They granted. It was that simple.
Even better news: Commuter Daddy was a featured blog today… on the Boston.com Moms site.
Forfeiture of my Man Card might be required now.
I’m kidding, of course. I appreciate the love. A link from Boston.com is SEO gold for a low-profile blogger. Two links are even better. I’m also in good company: Meredith O’Brien’s Notes from the Asylum, Appalachian Mountain Club’s Great Kids, Great Outdoors, and my cousin Liz over at Eat, Drink and Be Mommy (hey, Liz, keep posting!). The rest I haven’t had a chance to read yet.
I do get some safety in masculine numbers, thanks to the company of other Dad bloggers: dadtoday, Dadventures in Beantown, and The Education of a New Dad. But we are few. The Moms are many. Other Dads need to step up and take advantage of Boston.com’s equal opportunity indexing.
Blog on, fellow Dads, and let sites like Boston.com know you’re out there.
While we’re at it, though, let’s not focus on what divides us from moms, and simply share in the parenting experience. As I’ve written previously, “Proper teamwork with your spouse simply means doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done. The two pitfalls? Waiting to be told to do it first, and keeping score, of course.“
Let’s not keep score while blogging either.
