Something Old, Something New, Something Blue

Salem McKellan Brown

Hey there! So I really wanted to add the Something Borrowed option too, but couldn’t think of anything, so the three in the title will have to do. So…

It’s been a little quiet here last week, since Kevin Green’s great guest post about LinkedIn (and if you haven’t read it yet, you’re missing a great ongoing discussion in the comments). But there’s a good reason for that, which is where the Something New and Something Old part comes in. And yes, I’m the something old part in the image at the start of this post…

Last Thursday, February 2nd at 11.52am, my wife Jacki gave birth to our second child, this time a daughter to join her brother Ewan, who showed his excitement at the news by offering back-up vocals to his favourite Thomas the Tank song.

YouTube Preview Image.

Salem McKellan Brown weighed in at 6lbs and 15oz, and both mama and daughter are well (they came home on Saturday morning). She’s a cute little tyke, and very wriggly – fun when it comes to diaper time!

So, obviously, my energies have been elsewhere. Normal service will be resumed shortly. In the meantime, you can hop over to Sarah Robinson’s blog where I guest as part of her 28 Days… series. This month, she’s looking at how you can encourage fierce loyalty from your community.

My post is titled If You Want Fierce Loyalty, You Need to Be Fiercely Loyal First. I kind of cuss a few times and talk about dog poo. Hence the Something Blue reference. Check it out if you have time, and make sure to check the rest of the series out too, there are some wicked smart people in it.

Cheers, have a great week and see you soon!

This is my favorite subject. Thanks for taking the time to discuss that, I really feel strongly about it and also love learning more on that topic. If achievable, while you gain competence, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is really helpful for me.Thanks for share.

Did you and your wife make a conscious decision to share photos/videos of your children to the world wide web?

Danny

Um... yes?

Obviously. I'm not being snarky, Danny. I'm wondering if the webbification of your kids began at birth or later. I'm asking from the angle of privacy and everyone knowing everything about your kids. Why do you publish the web video for all to see, vs an unpublished link for only family and friends?
