Welder in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Besides writing, I like making things for the web and bringing bloggers together. This is where I keep it all in one place.

Some of it is built for Bear Blog, some of it is community events, and some of it is just me tinkering for fun. I add new things regularly, so feel free to check back now and then.

Bear Blog library

Everything I've built for Bear Blog, my favorite blogging platform, is collected in the Bear Blog library.

• Styles – small CSS tweaks for individual parts of the default theme.
• Add-ons – navigation, galleries, and widgets, no custom theme needed.
• Themes – complete themes, from everyday designs to seasonal looks.
• Palettes – ready-to-paste color palettes for the default theme.
• Plugins – small tools that extend the Bear dashboard itself.
• Extras – Apple Shortcuts and other things that live outside your blog.

Events

Yearly events where bloggers come together to write, share, and discover each other. Anyone can join, on any platform.

• Junited – share blog posts you love throughout June.
• JulyReply – reply to other bloggers' posts in July.
• AuguStory – tell the story of your blog in August.
• SepThemeBear – create your own Bear theme in September.
• Knowember – get to know your blogger.
