Why should people read your blog? What makes it different?\u00a0<\/strong>Opinion, information and erudition! The original dad-blog that just keeps going\u2026<\/p>\n

How do you measure the success of your website?\u00a0<\/strong>It varies. Some individual posts generate huge amounts of traffic; some attract plenty of comments. As long as someone\u2019s reading, I\u2019m happy.<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite blog and why?<\/strong>\u00a0Katyboo\u2019s weblog A \u2018little known\u2019 (heaven knows why) parent blog which is just about the best-written of the lot!<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog?<\/strong>\u00a0Do it! Don\u2019t think about it, plan it, or discuss it – just get on with it. And read, read, read the rest of us.<\/p>\n

How do you work with marketers and PRs?\u00a0<\/strong>They tend to make a direct approach and if I like the pitch\/product, we talk.<\/p>\n

What can marketers do better in working with you?<\/strong>\u00a0Read me. Know I\u2019m not a mummy-blogger, for example!<\/p>\n

What was your blogging highlight of 2013?<\/strong>\u00a0Crossing swords with Quentin Letts and the Daily Mail\u2026 again!<\/p>\n

What will be big in your blogosphere in the coming months?\u00a0<\/strong>I aim to take on the Daily Mail, win, then conquer the world.<\/p>\n
