Where are the Blogging Pinoy Fathers?

Friday, September 4th, 2009

A search string at topblogs for “marriage” caught my attention and so I followed it. There I saw a collection of blogs relating to, what else, marriage. But that’s not the point. The point is that there are so many blogs written by ladies and mothers, but only a few blogs by Pinoy Dads. Let’s look at the “facts”. (more…)

Upgrading your Wordpress Installation

Friday, July 18th, 2008

It seems that older versions of Wordpress have certain vulnerabilities that are being exploited and the latest hacking incident provided a strong incentive to upgrade the Wordpress files. I was planning to upgrade for some time now, but the upgrade instructions (3-step or the more detailed) seem to be a bit daunting. Now, with the recent intrusions, there’s not much choice but to get our hands dirty and explore the upgrade process. (more…)

Redirection of Atty-at-Work subdomains

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

(Note: This issue is already resolved.) Don’t worry about this redirection. First, I’m sorry for doing this, except that there may be a problem with some of the subdomains in Atty-at-Work. We don’t know which one is the problem as of this moment. We’ve redirected most of the subdomains, hoping to rule out those subdomains that appear to be ok. Again, I’m sorry for this inconvenience.

Saying goodbye to Blogging

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

It’s has been over two years since I started blogging. My blogging age is roughly the same as the age of my son, Enzo, as I discovered this hobby while on paternity leave. Throughout this period, I’ve met many blogger-friends and got to know the internet world much better. It is thus with a heavy heart that I’m saying goodbye to blogging; but somebody else will take my place… (more…)

Building a Better Blog

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

If you have just started blogging, perhaps there are a number of questions on your mind. Here are a few pointers from a layman, I mean, as compared to a programming expert, who has tinkered with blogging tools.

Choose a blawgging platform. There are a number of choices, depending on your preference. While social networking sites like multiply, i.ph, funchain and friendster also have built-in blogs, I still go for wordpress, blogger or blogsome. Each one has it’s strengths and weaknesses but in case of doubt, try wordpress. (more…)

Add Value to Blogging

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

The growth of blogging is phenomenal and Pinoy bloggers are no exceptions. There are so many kinds of bloggers. There are those who blog about their personal lives or about a particular subject. There are those who blog for the fun of it, while there are those who blog for money. There are, of course, blogs that tend to destroy others. (more…)

Babies and Blogging – how one addiction can lead to another

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Here’s the beauty of that title – whatever combination you choose, you’ll still come up with something true. You don’t believe me? Read it again and juggle the words. Babies are addicting. Blogging is addicting. Addiction to babies can lead to blogging. Addiction to blogging can lead to, well, I think except this one. (more…)

PinoyDad is born

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Fatherhood changes people. It may be an overgeneralization, but it’s true as far as I’m concerned. You begin to appreciate things that you wouldn’t have considered as a single man (or try not to appreciate those which you did as a single man).

The concept started way back in December 2005, but the decision to treat this as a separate blog came only recently. Since this blog is still in its infancy, we welcome your suggestions on how to make this a blog, which is intended to be a community of and written by fathers, helpful to fathers.
