Birming bulletin #4
Since the last bulletin post at the beginning of April, much of the work has been about organizing content. But I've also managed to release a couple of new things.
Here's a summary of what's new and updated:
Add-ons
- Testimonials - display testimonials in a card grid.
- Bearlytics - show a snapshot of your recent writing.
- Polaroid styles - give any image a polaroid look.
- Photo calendar - display your photos by date with a monthly calendar view.
- Image filters - new styles added: noir, haze, and dusk.
- Micro.blog latest post - updated with video support, showing a play badge.
Palettes
- Amber - golden amber tones with an "editorial" font combo.
- Bloom - deep pink links and warm orange accents.
- Studio - teal links, pink surfaces, and expressive headings.
Theme
Bearming theme 5.3.0 ships with card styles for the header and blog list. Also included by default is a starter set of add-ons: footnotes, curve divider, tree menu, inline menu, and frame image. Check out the style guide to see them in action.
On the token side, dark mode now uses the same --muted formula as light mode across all palettes, making things more consistent. The token names and structure got a small tidy-up too, making them easier to work with.
Other
Many new and useful resources have been added to the Blogger's toolbox page.
That's it for this time. Happy blogging!
