Introducing, Bear Blog! This really means little to nothing at this point. When I wanted to start this blog up not too long ago I decided that I would build it with some of the newer technologies I was currently playing with, which happened to mean nodejs.
I did some looking around first for a good blogging module for nodejs, but just wasn't having any luck finding what I wanted. I was looking to be as lightweight as possible with all the basic functionality. I've used wordpress blogs in several places including linnnk and 10 Dollar Gaming and honestly, I like the software. Wordpress gets the job done pretty well, although it feels overbloated and filled with far too many features to be considered a \"simple blogging tool.
So, I went to work and not too long later (because there weren't many features to build; that was the idea) I had the codebase that is powering this very blog. It was small, simple and served one purpose; to host a blog.
With that in mind now, this site has great room to grow and with it bearblog should also grow into a solid, lightweight CMS. I have reserved a spot for it on github, but honeslty haven't pushed the code up yet. I'll be making that a goal in the very near future, but for now, just wanted to explain the basis of this blog and why it looks so bear (pun intended) minimal as it does. Now you know!"
