Welcome to the 6th & Best Manival!

Welcome to the 6th Manival!

I’m excited to be hosting this week’s Manival. Thanks to Brett, from The Art Of Manliness, for starting the Manival and for letting me host it this week.

I was surprised with the amount of submissions for this week’s event. It’s encourging to me to know that there is a wealth of manformation out there (<-- yes, I just made that up) and I’m glad to be a humble part of that.

  11. Tyler, that was so kind of you to include my submission in the Manival this week. I can’t thank you enough. I was really nervous to “put it out there”, and in fact procrastinated for the whole week. Thanks for helping a junior man blogger along.

  12. Thank you all for helping make this one awesome Manival! You all have some great blogs and it’s been fun to help get the word out.

    @Alessandro: I sent you an email. I didn’t see your submission for the Manival and I’m sorry I missed it. Make sure and submit it for next week. See you there.

  13. I have submitted a post. How long does the Manival last?

    Thanks for the info & the chance to be part of this.

    Maybe we could start a “best of” series of our own. Possibly the first Monday of every month we could list our top ten daddy posts of the previous month. We could compile the list from the other dads we speak with and have a different dad host the post every month.

    Any thoughts?

    Peace,

    Joey

  14. Great job on the Manival. Where will it be next? I may want to submit a post.

  15. @Babbo: The Manival is ongoing…there is a different host each week. I like your idea about a monthly round up of the best dad posts. Sounds like a good idea to me.
    @James: Thanks! The next Manival will be hosted by Corey Allen at The Simple Marriage Project. He has a link on his site for your submission. Can’t wait to see you there.
