Scott and Stefan started their day as superheroes on TVNZ's Good Morning Show accompanied by Vicky Hedifen from Plunket. Sarah Bradley interviewed the three superheroes and found out what's happening with this year's appeal. Click here to watch the segment with Scott, Stefan and Vicky.

Today is a special day - it's Father's Day in NZ and Australia, YAY! But it's also the first anniversary for DIYFather.com as we launched this site on Father's Day 2007. What a year it's been. DIYFather.com now hosts over 750 articles specifically written for dads. Every month the site gets 30'000 visits and more than 40'000 people are listening to our International Dad podcasts.

So a big shout out to all the dads around the world who are reading and writing our articles. This is your site and we are proud to have helped in putting it together. Also a special shout out to the many other father's blogs who are linking to us and have helped us make the site into what it is today with lots of feedback and suggestions. Thanks also to all the organisations who have started working with us over the last 12 months. We have benefitted so much from your experience and help! A special hello also to all the mums contributing to this blog - it's always great to hear from you. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, lots of love to all (our) children without whom we wouldn't be fathers in the first place.

After months of working hard on the site upgrade we're proud to present the new site to everyone. Hope you like it!
Apologies to those who have commented on recent articles. Unfortunately we lost some comments in the process of upgrading our content management system and changing the design.

We've got lot's more cool features in store which we will release over the next few weeks and months - so watch this space! At the moment we're just very happy that this major site revamp has gone well.

Thanks for your continued support and let us know what you think of the new look!

Stef, Eric and Scott
