Bear Blog text shorthands

The default Bear Blog theme keeps things plain, no built-in way to center a block, add some subtle text, or drop in a custom divider. A handful of small classes fill that gap.

Simply wrap your content in a div and add the class, no extra markup or thinking required. Mix and match, combine them, tweak the values, or use them as a starting point for your own styles.
