No free rides

 Looks like it is time for some more Father Knows Best? Today’s question comes from Lesley at loadedweb.com.

Hello Nate,

I’m from LoadedWeb.com, and wanted to invite you take a look at our geo-based blog directory. Instead of strict categories - we categorize blogs from the city bloggers live, and also let bloggers categorize their own blog via tagging. It is a great way to find other interesting blogs from your city.

So - I just wanted to quickly invite you to submit your blog - you can do so over here: http://www.loadedweb.com/user.php?action=addblog

You can email me back at lesley@loadedweb.com if you have any questions or suggestions.

Ooh! Solicitation! Thank you Lesley for your genuine invitation to your website. I am honored that you would think of me. So I actually did check out your site and I did the whole sign up thing and I even put your little badge on my sidebar. So I better see some friggin’ dividends Lesley! I want millions of new readers. Can you deliver that?

For those of you who are bloggers and are curious about this site, it seems decent enough. I signed up today and if you go to the Portland blogs section one of my posts shows up in the “latest blog posts from Portland” section at the bottom. Although oddly enough if you search for my blog in their search bar I do not show up. 

Well, since this is a blog about fatherhood, and Lesley submitted a question to Father Knows Best? I feel obligated to give her some fatherly advice. The advice I will give her is that there are no free rides in life. That means you can’t solicit at my blog without paying the price. 

So, if you want to help me have a little fun, CLICK HERE to send Lesley a quick email. You can make it say whatever you want. Tell her how much you love Improvising Fatherhood. Whatever. Your choice. Have fun with it. Let’s see if we can fill her inbox with messages from all of us.
