Good news everyone! Christmas has come early! Jon Victorino has stepped in and cleaned up bearblog's look and feel. You're looking at it right now!
Feeling really slick now, it's time to start flushing out what bearblog is and make it a really solid platform. So expect plenty of further development on this in the near future and plenty of talk about it here.
If you don't know, bearblog is a minimalistic blogging platform written in nodejs. It's essentially a skeleton project to help you get a blog up and running with the least amount of effort possible. Posts are written in markdown and you have full control over layout, style and everything else. Please check it out over at the bearblog github home.
