Father Friday 5 - Best of the Week From Blogging Parents

Graphic by Chris @ Daddy Doctrines

Good day...and welcome to episode 5 of Father Friday!

With last week being a major holiday weekend, I was of the opinion that we would only get a handful of posts but we got seventeen which for Labor Day Weekend is, I think, pretty great!

I hope you look forward to Father Friday as much as I do. There are so many parents doing great things on the Internet and it is awesome to see them gathered together in one place. Continue to spread the word, let's get as many posts this week as we can!

Now, for the rules...(which are more like guidelines)...


The rules...

1. You need to be a father. New father, old father, soon to be father, want some day to be a father, father...doesn't matter. You just need to be a dad. (Or a really awesome mom that meets the same criteria!)

2. You must own and maintain your own blog.

3. If you meet the requirements for rules one and two, look back over your posts from the past week, from Friday to Friday. Re-read them all.

4. Choose the post you feel was your particular BEST for the week. It can be funny, helpful, sad, dramatic, deep, light...whatever. Pick the post that most reflects you and what your awesome blog has to offer.

5. Follow the host. That's me. It's quick and painless and I always follow back. (This part is optional, but oh so appreciated!)


6. Put your blog address and a short description of the post in the Linky link located below. Be short but concise. (You know...like Twitter!)

7. After you are on the list, surf the posts of the other dads and follow as many as you can. Read and above all else COMMENT! We all know that comments are to bloggers what a keg of Dear Park water is to a desert nomad. COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT!


8. Grab the code below, create a new post on your blog, and enter it so you can share the growing list with all your followers. Then just sit back and let it grow!

Don't forget to share the link to this post. Via Twitter, Email, IM, or carrier pigeon. The more moms and dads we can get to link up, the more we can influence our corner of the web with good, positive, humorous parenting.
