When I was growing up, I never had trouble fitting in. I could hang with the surfers, band geeks or athletes without seeming too far out of my element. I was on the fringe of the cool kids – mainly because I don’t think I really wanted to fit into that particular social group all of the time.

In some ways, the blogging world sometimes reminds me of high school. There are popular blogs, artistic blogs, blogs that are bursting with potential, blogs that everyone knows and loves and blogs that only a few seem to know about. I’m not sure where I fit in but because I’ve been around a few years I’ve been able to establish some roots in the blogging world. I’m like that senior in high school that some of the freshman look up to but will one day do much better than that senior ever did.

Having said that, a month, or so, ago I noticed that there was some buzz in the blogging world about a new website called Alltop that had different categories of the top blogs, news sites, and other web-friendly sites with their RSS feeds built in. This, it seemed, was where all the cool kids were hanging out. The best part to me was that there was a Daddy Blog section where a plethora of great daddy blogs were being showcased. Many I was aware of but there were even more that I had not seen before – a telling sign of how far us Daddy Bloggers have come in the past few years. The only problem, in my very biased view, was that I wasn’t included.

So, I’m not ashamed to say, I emailed them and pleaded my case. “I wanna be a cool kid!” I begged. And just like that, I was included. It was as easy as high school used to be.

So anyway, I’ve now been included with some heavyweight Daddy Bloggers. I encourage you to go over and check them out. There’s also a great Mommy Blogger section as well.

Check ya out later. Maybe we can all hang out in the quad at lunch time
