What Will Happen When Dad Bloggers Form a Group on Facebook?

Recently A Blogger and a Father came up with a crazy idea: What if dad bloggers formed a Facebook Dad Blogging page to network, share ideas and support each other? You would think that something like this might not work. Something so awesome like this will just implode on itself, but be it that it…
