The Secret to Blogging and Baby Poop
Your blog may be your baby, but taking care of a baby is not like blogging. The secret to being a good parent and blogger is knowing the difference between the two. Here are ten ways blogging and parenting are different:
(1) A ProBlogger like Darren Rowse can post several times a day. A baby can post several times an hour. Stinky!!!
(2) Disabling comments will not stop a baby from crying.
(3) There’s no plugin to change your baby’s diaper.
(4) You can’t monetize your baby with Adsense. I tried. No clicks so far.
(5) Getting pinged for a blog post is good, but bad when you are changing baby’s diaper. Don’t get too close!
(6) You can’t use RSS feeds to feed your baby. Atom does not work either.
(7) Diapers, formula, and baby clothes are not open source. <ouch> $$$$ </ouch>
(8) Jensense makes sense out of Adsense, but children lack common sense and babies speak in non-sense.
(9) Viral is good for bloggers, but not for babies.
(10) If you have a good blog, you will develop a community of loyal readers. But no matter how good a parent you are, your baby will eventually grow up and leave the nest. Enjoy them while you can.

I got sucked in by ‘Blogging FOR Baby Poop’ on the Lists Submissions page, but I stayed for the funny!
[...] Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger is currently holding a contest on Lists, where he invites his readers to make a list about anything, and he will make his own list (get it? ) of people who participate. There are some very interesting lists that have been submitted so far. I guess because I’m a mother, I especially got a chuckle out of Ken’s list on The Secret to Blogging for Baby Poop. [...]
