Great comparison. I never really thought about it but I guess they are very similar in many ways.

BTW, if you wanted to, you probably could put a little advertising on Xavier. Maybe a onesie that said “Subscribe to my Feedburner feed”?

I can relate to this post, as I have just become a father in April this year. Curious enough, I found myself starting up a dormant blog again, partly because the baby was moved to the computer room, as it is the warmest room in the house (it is winter here in Lima, Peru). So whilst the baby was sleeping, I was working on the pc to breath back life into my blog. And I agree that there are many similarities between the two, babies and blogs!
Just to settle you a bit: life actually gets a lot easier after the first two months…

p.s. In the end I had to abandon the computer room which has become the baby room

Interesting post. Real cuddly. But I wish you’d buy an ergonomic keyboard. My fingers hurt just looking at yours… ;-).

I am thinking of the same thing, I want to take care of my blog and give it all the nifty toys I can find, and dress it up so it gets pretty.

I have to admit, I absolutely hated my in-laws after the baby was born. They had the nerve to smoke around my baby, and monopolize the baby, and I wanted to literally kill them. Hope you are having better luck. By the way, love the picture of you and the baby. Yes, we will need future bloggers, so it’s good you are letting her get started blogging early.

sooo cuuute!!
your baby, not your blog :)
(and that’s one way a blog is different)….
when i saw your pic, i first thought, I hope I can take a picture like that someday if i have a kid, and i manage to get my new blog up and running.
Congratulations on being a dad :)

Sure you can put advertisements on your baby. That’s what T-Shirts are for!

[...] Vaaaale, ninguna; yo tampoco, pero me sirve de entradilla para publicar la referencia a un post de Darren Rowse, que recientemente ha adquirido una serie de responsabilidades paternofiliales que le eran ajenas hasta la fecha, es decir que el ProBlogger australiano ha tenido un churumbel y – ante la cercanía del día del padre en los antípodas – ha querido “racionalizar” su llegada comparando ciertos aspectos de lo que ha supuesto en su vida con su actividad como bloguero.

[...] I have to link to this post from Darren at Problogger.net. His list of reasons why having a blog is like having a baby are filled with great insights. With children of my own, I know where he’s coming from and can see some of the parallels. As I remarked in a comment on his post, the parenting skills I’ve learned over the years have really helped me in my blogging, namely in being patient and being able to force myself to clean up messes.

Great post, Darren. I’ve had a lot of experience over the last few years having (actually, the wife having) babies and raising children. There’s a lot of truth in what you’ve written. I’m still feeling my way with blogging, but some of the skills I’ve learned as a parent have come in very handy, like being patient and also forcing myself to clean up a smelly mess. Happy Father’s Day!
