Top 50 Dad Blogs 2011
Why do a Top 50 Dad Blogs list now? Haven't dads been blogging just as long as moms? Do we really just like making these lists?
Here's the truth: At Babble, we've been waiting for this moment for years. No, this is not the beginning of Dad blogging - far from it - but it is the first year in which Dad blogging is making it to the masses in a big way. Whether it's a single post that gets over 114,000 "likes" on Facebook or a riveting panel discussion at the Mom 2.0 Summit or the hilarious (but effective) #occupyBabble Twitter campaign, Dad bloggers are gaining more recognition with every passing month. In the process, they are also changing the way we think about fatherhood, parenthood, and exactly what is possible for men raising families.
So here they are, our first ever picks for the Top 50 Dad Blogs - from the well-designed to the most provocative, from the funniest to the most useful. We hope you'll find this listing most useful, and will discover (or rediscover) the great voices within its ranks.
And one final note: We left group blogs off this list to make room for all the individuals (and one pair); stay tuned for our Top 10 Group Dad Blogs list, coming soon.
- Greg Olear and the Dad blog panel: Catherine Connors, Brian Braiker, Cecily Kellogg, Brian Sargent, Laura Mayes, Jack Murnighan, and Danielle Wiley.

Josh | DadStreet
No visit to the suburbia that is fatherhood is complete without a ride down DadStreet.
This charming site concerns the parenting highs, lows, and in-betweens of Josh, a Monterey, CA, dad to two kids, Olivia and Jakey; owner of a dog, Cody; and husband to Susie, a.k.a. “The Boss.”
There is much to recommend here: the entries on travel, technology, and product reviews, as well as the candid and often sarcastic dispatches on fatherhood. But the highlight of the blog may well be the Daily Tips, “vlogs” in which Josh proffers bits of fatherly wisdom. When cruising down the information superhighway, don’t miss the exit to DadStreet.
