E-Mail Bag: Dawn of the Dad
Last week's newsletter focused on fathers who blog about fatherhood, and several sent new Web addresses for dads to connect with other dads. You can find the updated list here, and send sites I missed to parenting@washingtonpost.com.
The New York Daily News also noticed the rise of the dad-bloggers. "Daddy blogs are emerging as the tool for fathers in the know, sharing what's cool and what's new, from the latest accessory for their stroller to the best car seat for their SUV," writes Brooke Showell.
