Democracy. Ain't it great? The time has come to pull the lever in the first-ever "Best of Blog" Awards ("The Best Personal Blogs You Ought to Be Reading"). The contest has a category for "Daddy Blogs," which makes me quite pleased. (And I'm thrilled that there are such a rich group of sites nominated. When I started this site, more than two years ago, the number of blogging daddies was next to nothing). So surf over to the online ballot box, check out the ten finalists and let your voice be heard. I have a hard time saying any one dad has a better site/story than any other, but the finalists includes at least four current or former at-home dads: Ty Miller, Laid-Off Dad, Patricide, and The Blue Sloth.
