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.

Fatherhood Friday

First, Happy Father's Day to all! I hope everyone has a great Father's Day and that they get to spend some quality time with their families.

Next up, a reminder--don't forget to click on the "Win an iPad" ad on the top of the DB home page or on the top of our right sidebar. The Case Foundation is really cool to be hosting such an awesome giveaway and we are very excited to be able to spread the word. The Case Foundation is running this giveaway for Father's Day to pay tribute to dads everywhere and that is AOK by me.

Fatherhood Friday Theme: "Paying Tribute"

This could mean that you write a post that pays tribute to your father, grandfather, father-in-law, or anyone who may have inspired, taught, gave you fatherly direction in your life. Use the next two weeks of Fatherhood Friday and pay tribute. Don't forget that themes are suggestions and not required by law or something.

The Lakers won. It's all over. Kobe wins again. Now all we have to watch is Strasburg and World Cup...well, and the US Open. Enough jibber jabber--onto the links!

Fatherhood Friday (FF) Rules of Engagement

Make sure that you link to Dad Blogs in your FF posts, also--when you post your link here at DB, make sure your link points to your Fatherhood Friday post--not your blog's homepage. Make it easy for people to find your Fatherhood Friday contribution. Tweet #FatherhoodFriday as often as you can and visit & comment other FF posts with vim and vigor.

So, get your links up and be good stewards of Fatherhood Friday.

Here's what you do when you are a part of Fatherhood Friday, if you don't know already. Our easy to follow guidelines:
  1. Do post a Dad Blogs badge on your blog and watch your popularity grow exponentially
  2. Do link to awesome posts on your blog (link directly to the post, not the homepage)
  3. Do link back to Dad Blogs and Fatherhood Friday
  4. Do not link to something unrelated like shrubberies
  5. Do visit as many other contributors as possible
  6. Do tweet about your post and add the hashtag "#FatherhoodFriday" to the end of the tweet

I wrote this before I saw the 'tribute' theme. It's a tribute, ... but to a fictional character... smilies/kiss.gif Here it is, nonetheless...

Mine isn't a Father's Day post, but after a funk of not understanding why people become parents, I think I finally get it. smilies/grin.gif

Happy Fatherhood Friday everyone! This is the most important Fatherhood Friday of the year for many reasons. I discuss why I think so and, as a happy coincidence I guess I pay tribute too.

My almost-late offering to Fatherhood Friday is up:

Don’t tell me that Father’s Day is a big deal, because it’s not.

Hey guys! I'm excited to be a new member of the Dad Blogs community! I'm working on a "tribute" post about Daddy-Bob (my grandfather; and my daughter's GREAT-grandfather), but it's not ready yet. In the meantime, I invite you to check out my latest blog post, "Touchscreen kids." [Consider it a 'tribute' to all you dads who can still remember when a video game was something that required a TV, a joystick and a red button, not something that kids play on a handheld supercomputer that's connected to their ears via a little white cord, while they walk down the street without looking up as the world passes by.] smilies/cool.gif If you tweet, send me an @ reply and I'll follow you. My handle is @BrianCSimpson.
