The StepDude

I started another blog, called The StepDude: www.thestepdude.com

I won't be emailing updates since it's an easy site to remember, and I hope to grow it through other step-parenting and parenting blogs. As much as I like to write about myself, my hope is it will be more topic-based, eventually. I just posted my 2nd entry, and should be updating it weekly at the least. Let's be honest - I'm a new parent and a step-parent. The kids are gift wrapping material for this thing...

Stepping Up

I've been working on a concept for a new blog about being a Stepdad. I'm trying to develop it into more of a general public concept than a personal outlet. I have a URL purchased with a clever (I think) name and the first 2 or 3 entries mostly written.

Since I started this blog, I've received several comments from family and friends on my writing style and ability, and I've been very flattered and appreciate the feedback. For this Stepdad concept, I'd love to hear your thoughts - do you know of any blogs similar to that? If written anonymously and for a general audience will it be interesting to read (espeically for other Stepdads)? And if any of you (Charon, Exuberman) have some insight into how to best link up with similar interests and generate traffic, as well as build upon the basic formatting of Blogger or work with HTML to make it look, well, professional, that would be helpful too.

Any input is appreciated! I hope to get it off the ground by Oct 1.
