Bearblog is fun

If you’re into blogging and the blogging world, chances are you might have heard about bearblog.dev. And if you’re a reader of this blog you might have also read the interview with Herman, Bearblog’s creator.

I never used Bearblog, mainly because I’m happy with my setup and I have no reason to look for another blog solution.

That said, a few weeks back I started toying with the idea of porting the design of this site over to Bear, just for fun. And to my surprise, creating a bear version of my site was surprisingly simple.

Which is why I’m happy to release a V0.1 of this experiment. The demo site I’m using it’s currently up at css.bearblog.dev. This is a very quick and dirty version. There's some leftover code in there but it should mostly work.

Quick note: I might use that test site in the future to code other themes so depending on when you’re reading this post, the live preview might not actually show the correct theme.

To install it just head over to the “Themes” section in your dashboard, delete everything inside the “Edit theme CSS” section and paste in the code of my theme. Hit “Publish” and you’re done.

I’m sure there will be bugs because there are always bugs. If you need help with anything send me an email. The theme is free, if you want to contribute the best way to do it is to become a member of my “One a Month” club.
