The Month of August was a big month for A Good Husband. I started meeting a lot of the Mommy Bloggers out there and it’s been a fun ride. Most of these mommy bloggers also happen to be married, so it was interesting discussing marriage with them.

Take a look at these popular posts from the month of August, and enjoy!

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!

For those of you who don’t know, Twitter.com is an invaluable resource. I like to tell people it’s like a cross-breed between instant messaging and social networking. Like my Facebook account, I can add hundreds of friends, but when I send a message out on Twitter (short, limited to 140 characters) it goes out to all of my friends. The best thing about Twitter? I’m friends with a bunch of people that I could never get face time with, but they actually respond on Twitter. It’s like being able to get short, extremely valuable consultations for free.

In the spirit of Twitter, here are the ways Twitter has helped my marriage:

- Given me good ideas for dates.
- Met local people who had advice for good local restaurants.
- A little cheering section when I need encouragement (guys say, “yeah, I did that too”).
- Lots of random ideas for blog posts about marriage when reading other people’s tweets.
- Spawned intense discussions on my blog (and others) about marriage.

A Manival is a blog carnival from the perspective of men. For the next few weeks, men all over the world are taking the opportunity to sound off on what really matters. From being a husband, to being a father, to mancations, to grooming and more, read what men really think. This first edition of the Manival is being hosted by ArtOfManliness.com.

Next week’s edition of the Manival will be hosted by yours truly. If you have a post that you would like to see highlighted on the Manival next week, please email me at cory_huff at yahoo.com.

For far too long the male community has flown under the radar on important issues. This is a sort of coming out party for us. It’s our opportunity to let the world know that we are here and passionate about what matters. If you like what you read, please do us all a favor and Stumble, Digg, or otherwise bookmark the first Manival.

A Good Husband was just added to the list on A Dad’s Life. Check out the post that mentions me and check out A Dad’s Life - there’s a ton of Daddy Blogs out there (184 at last count) and this is the best directory that I’ve seen. You might also check out DadThing’s list, as well as BuildingCamelot’s list.

You might also check out DadDaily. It’s a new social networking site started by the guy who writes A Dad’s Life, and it’s aimed at, obviously, dads.

A Good Husband isn’t a Daddy Blog per se, but I don’t seem to fit into any other category, since there’s not anyone else out there consistently blogging about just husbandhood (yeah, I know that’s a made up word).

Thanks everyone, for the recognition!
