So I’m happy to announce the soft launch of my friend Brian Fling’s exciting new project Seattleparent.org.

Entirely run by Movable Type, it’s one of the more interesting implementations of a blogging tool for something other than a traditional blog that I’ve seen. It’s also a really great idea and should be a good tool for any parent. Not that I’d have any clue about that.

Here is a bit of background to give you an idea of what it’s all about:

Seattleparent.org started in 2003 as my wife Cyndi and I became parents for the first time to our beautiful daughter, Penelope Jane or “PJ”.

Living in downtown Seattle and being first time parents, we have questions on how to raise a child in the city and few resources for answers. Since we don’t have too many friends that had children we felt a little alone trying to figure out how to care of this little one. Our parents always have advice for us, but they all live out of town and share mostly outdated information…

…My goal is to create a place for parents to connect with one another, to be able to get to and provide valuable information and resources for parents quickly and easily. And unlike other sites, try to provide a true question and answer format were parents can ask a question of their peers and share their experiences.

Great work Brian.
