March drawing winner and other announcements

Congratulations to Scott Gibbins from Woodhaven, Michigan for winning the March, 2010 free t-shirt drawing.  If you are registered as a member of Dadsworld (registration link is in homepage), you are automatically entered into our monthly drawings.  If you haven’t yet, be sure to register.  Also follow Dadsworld on facebook and twitter, if you are using those social media tools.  If you are not, I suggest you take a look at them.

We have so many exciting changes coming to the site!  Many of them are subtle, but others are obvious.  You will see the “Featured Dad” as a regular feature on the homepage.  It gets a little more in depth than the “Dad of the Month” interview, and goes into the biography of the Dad in greater detail. 

We just launched our twitter page (actually, I created it in October of 2007, but didn’t do anything with it until last month). 

Our facebook page has a similar story.  I created it over 2 years ago, but just last December really started adding content to it.  Facebook is an amazing tool.  It certainly can be a time-waster, but it also can be a powerful marketing tool, research tool and a great way to stay in touch with friends, family and clients.  If facebook were a counrty, it would be #4 in total population!  Incredible number of users. 

We are working on improving our log-in page, we are going to be adding an “outdoor recreation” column on the articles page, we are working toward a corporate sponsorship for the site and we are going to be adding some guest bloggers. 

I have received requests from Dads who write  colums or blogs to write for Dadsworld, so you will start to see some of their posts soon.  If you are a Dad, or know one who would like to write the occasional post for our blog, be sure to contact me.  info@dadsworld.com is the email address.

We are also adding more parenting statistics to the site, as this seems to be a very popular feature.

I am excited about our first “Featured Dad” interview, which is coming soon.  The Dad is an ultra-successful entrepreneur who has some outstanding ideas.  Look for that interview to go up this week.

Thanks for supporting involved Dads, and be sure to tell your friends and family about our website.  Have a great day!
