What people say
I just wanted to thank you so much for the customization library you created for Bear Blog! I don't know anything about programming, and your code helped immensely in making everything look the way I've always dreamed it would.

I have a growing list of articles that encourage me to write/blog when I'm feeling doubtful and I'm happy to say some of your articles like "Your blog is loved" have made it on there.
Nelson Figueroa
Thank you for filling my feed with delightful posts. I find them both calming and motivational.

It gives me that warm feeling I used to get when firing up a 56k modem and wandering onto the web in the late 1990s. A small-web homage. I love it.
Jack
I know that I would not blog as much if it wasn't for you, even if it means I end up tinkering with my blog sometimes instead of writing :D

You've been such an inspiration to a whole bunch of peeps on Bear; in a way, your blog's a little like a gardening centre :D
Pam
Your posts are so much fun, and you're an inspiration to bloggers everywhere! I really appreciate the themes and code snippets, they really helped me build and make my blog mine.
Karen
You have been an inspiration to me, especially to stop creating overly elaborate content and start writing in a lighter way, with my own sense of humor and personality.

I just hand wrote your post, The Yoga of Writing, onto a mega sticky note and stuck it on my desk :)

Thanks for Bearming. Especially the lightbox gallery helped my site a lot. At first I just wanted to test Bear a bit, but somehow it already became my main blog.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you have put into creating the Bearming theme.

I am starting up my bearblog and I wanted to thank you for all of the awesome resources you've shared. I also used your bearming theme as the base for my blog's theme. I am migrating from substack and I found your resources very helpful! Thanks!!
I just started my own bear blog and found all of your great resources. Trying out your Bearming theme right now and wanted to say thanks!
Thank you so much for your effort in developing the Bearming theme!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate you for taking the time to build the Bearming CSS. It's quite clean and a better look for my Bear Blog. I made my own palette and left an easter egg in the css for you.
I'm writing to thank you for your blog and theme. Bearming is great. I'm using it and have changed a few things, but your project is perfect: stylish and minimal. I really like this direction.
Your theme is already excellent, and it's great to see that you have even more features coming.

Your blog refresh looks fantastic. I love what you did with the layout.
Thanks for this theme.
Just wanted to say hello and tell you how much I love your new blog design. It's beautiful.
I love the theme. Thank you so much for sharing it and for constantly adding new add-ons. 🙌
Bearming hits that sweet spot between too simple and too complex, giving you a great look with just the right amount of flexibility.
I am so happy with the Bearming theme. It's adaptable, clean-looking, and most importantly, easy to set up and use. Thank you for creating this gem.
Bearming strips out everything unnecessary, keeping only the bare essentials. Yet it's refreshing, highly readable, and customizable enough if you want to tinker. Thanks for your work.
I adore the Bearming theme. It's simple but beautiful. As soon as I discovered it, I started using it. I really like the base theme plus add-ons, all explained clearly and easy to use. Blogging feels joyful again.
What you're doing with this is amazing. Bear feels like a totally different beast now. Congratulations, and thank you.
Bearming is versatile, extensible, clean-looking, and easy to use. I love projects like this.
This theme provides a minimal yet stylish base for Bear. It really shines with the constant development of add-ons, which add so many customization options. Looking forward to seeing how it grows.
I love your Bearming theme, and I've implemented it on my own blog using the Nord color scheme.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful Bearblog contributions. The Bearming addons work pretty well even on other themes. Thank you for the timeline look especially; I used it on some of my pages.
Hey I read your post on "Bearming" theme and I'm loving it. I've applied some of your styling to my blog with heavy modifications of my own. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
I made a blog using the Bearming theme with the Timeline add-on, and it turned out great. It's simple, well done, and easy to extend with add-ons.
Your Bearming theme looks so good it made me think, "If I ever write a blog, I want it to look just like this."
Thank you for making the Bearming theme and the compliment on my blog's looks. Whatever I did to it, my blog wouldn't look half as good without your blueprint!
I just wanted to thank you a lot for your Bearful theme. It’s simple, beautiful, and accessible.
