Any bloggers out there?
out of interest did you manage to find a blogger?
There are still vacancies - worth reading the blogs if you haven't already (and they are worth going back to the start, there are some real gems in there).
iamtheblaine - We are still looking for paid bloggers for the main site. Feel free to PM me with details.
However a while back I floated the idea of setting up a blogging board on the forum. Where members will be able to run a thread as a blog allowing you to update whenever you please. After much discussion in the DadTalk offices, I managed to beat everyone into submission. So shortly (maybe a few weeks to a month) you can expect to see a dad blogger forum board appear.

Great stuff on the site. I'd love to be involved if you feel my articles fit in.
I blog about creativity - often linked to early years creative play, creative writing, how childhood memories influence us and education. I'm a father of three, ages 6, 4 and 1, boy, girl, girl.
Here are some recent blogs that may be relevant and show my style and approach. I usually write one or two a week and would happily take on a topic if it fell within my expertise. I could re-visit these, or supply new ones if needed.
I'm currently planning out a batch of blogs about creative play - for Dad's - who, like me, suddenly find themselves as primary carer and need some inspiration on engaging and creative activities without spending any money.
Children are not sophisticated (about age appropriate television)
A record for your life (about using a record player as a tactile activity)
Why Creative Writing is important – especially for children
Why our children need to write Science Fiction
My headmaster still owes me £50 (what inspires children may not be what we think)

I started Blogging 6 weeks ago on the site and it is great.
I thinksome of your stuff on creativity is interesting - as I teach magicains anderformers about creativity it is intresting how we stifle a childrens creatvity - and it often happens inline with education points as well.
Would be nice to see some of your stuff on general life.
