I'm sorry to report I did not make the cut. Commuter Daddy is not among the Top 125 Dad Blogs listed here:
Top Dad Blogs — 2010
Honestly, I'm not sure how I could commute much harder. And I'm certainly giving everything I've got to be a top dad. However, I've clearly been falling short on the blogging.
I sense a New Year's Resolution coming on.
I'm pleased to report that I fulfilled this year's goal of cycling 1,000 miles. Perhaps I should change the blog name to Cycling Daddy, except that I've logged about 30,000 miles commuting so that wouldn't be the right focus for now.
So Commuter Daddy props to Always Home and Uncool, DadThing.com, Digital Dads and Geekdad, all of whom I follow regularly. They all made the list.
Perhaps the issue is not my blogging. Some of my fellow Facebookers (become a fan of Commuter Daddy!) and Twitter followers would say I'm too prolific with my sharing. Maybe the judges responsible for the Top 125 Dad Bloggers simply have an anti-commuter bias. CommuterDad, my Canadian commuting and blogging comrade, also didn't crack the Top 125.
In protest, we should start our own Top 125 list of commuter bloggers -- though I'm not certain we could find 125. It is a fairly niche blogging topic. Guess we'll just have to try to crack the top 125 next year.

Hey, Commuter Daddy :-) I'm checking your stats for the top dad blog list right now. I'll see where you fit and put you in! So sorry I missed you first time around.
You mean there's hope for me yet!? WooHoo! Might be the first time I accomplish a New Year's Resolution before actually proclaiming it.
Sean,
Congrats on the guest post! You really aren't that far from being ranked well in the Top 125 Daddy Bloggers. Just need a few more good links and guest posts will do it for you.

Thanks, Dennis. I appreciated Keith offering the opportunity, and pleased I got the chance to join you on the Almightydad.com guest blogger roster.
Hi Sean! Thanks for linking to DadThing.com! Keep cracking at it and you'll be in the top 125 in no time! I just put a link to your blog in my sidebar...that should add close to 400 links to your site! :D
Hi Sean,
It's your Canadian comrade CommuterDad. I'm on hiatus from that blog while I'm on parental leave with our youngest child born at the end of November. Right now, we're up to our eyeballs in snow - well maybe more like our ankles, so much for hyperbole.
I do have another project that I'd love you to check out and share around - PlayGroundology - http://playgroundology.wordpress.com.
Does this qualify as a daddy blog because I write it and I'm a dad. What are the guidelines around these kind of things?
All the best. I hope you break the 125 barrier. I'll be checking in on you more frequently. I'll be cranking up CommuterDad again in August.
Cheers
Alex Smith
