I've had a well known community blog going for a few years now but just recently started this personal type daddy blogging thing. I'm finding that is a bit different looking for ideas about yourself and trying to walk a line between telling about yourself but not divulging too much.

Doing research on personal blogs I ran across what must be the most popular mommy blog out there. It is simply called Dooce. Dooce is actually Heather B. Armstrong, an individual that didn't start out to create a blogging empire and huge following but over time has done so.

She's funny, creative and bit on the edge at times. She likes to push buttons and in doing so has created somewhat of a cult readership. The reason I posted about her today is that I think she has done something pretty impressive.

Dooce has offered to give-a-way several Nintendo Wii machines for just leaving a comment on her blog. That is not the impressive part, the impressive part is that in two days she has around 40,000 comments! I understand that many people are leaving multiple comments but this is still a very impressive amount of participation.

If you are looking to become a professional blogger I highly recommend doing a quick study on Dooce. She currently has the magic touch and anything that might rub off can only do you some good. Check out her set up and quickly enter the drawing - Dooce.com.
