I’m taking a break from Monday Morning Amour today to let you all know that the new project that I’ve been hinting at for the past month or so is finally up and running.
In collaboration with Jeremy from DiscoveringDad.net, I’d like to announce the launch of the new site, HusbandsandDads.com. Our tagline is “Where It’s Cool To Be A Family Man.”
Husbands and Dads was conceived during a conversation between Jeremy and I when we realized the needs a place that can be a go-to resource for men who want to be a better husband and father.
You’ll find HusbandsandDads.com to be a little bit different than the standard “Daddy Blog.” The focus of HusbandsandDads is on providing well researched, thorough articles with little editorializing. You’ll find articles on things like paternity leave, what wives want in a vacation, and getting your kids a head start on college savings.
The main difference between A Good Husband and Husbands and Dads? I get to write about more stuff than just being a husband, and do it in a more focused way. This site, AGoodHusband, will continue to function as a community and a “my opinion on marriage” type of site.
On HusbandsandDads, you will also find some of those things that have made AGoodHusband and DiscoveringDad so popular, like a thoroughly accessible and close knit community that you can join and help grow.
For the first time, there’s a stunningly dynamic forum for men to discuss nearly any issue. There you’ll find not only Jeremy and myself, but some of the top Daddy bloggers and experts on men’s issues. There’s also a fully integrated comment and rating system for the articles so that you can tell us which articles are most useful.
In addition to the forums and comment systems, there’s a rather unique chat feature built into the site at the bottom of each article that allows you have instant conversations with anyone else who is using the site. It’s still experimental, so check it out and let us know what you think.
So, now that I’ve let you all know about the site, please pop over and look around, subscribe to the feed, share the site with your friends and family, and let me know what you think!
