POX removed Bear Blog as alternative to GitHub Gist
david55 added Bear Blog as alternative to Nawalsoft Blog- CypherJack reviewed Bear Blog
An awesome blogging platform for those who are looking for a minimalist and lightweight solution built on open source software. The free tier is really great while the paid tier obviously brings new feature that are worth the price ! But it's not for every one, if you like Markdown and minimalist tech you would like it.
I host my french speaking blog on Bear Blog !

By far the easiest way to blog and cheap.
Nah! Not~e~-worthy.
Herman may have had a very specific use case. If yours matches his, then you may find this useful.
Of course, full kudos to Herman for offering it up for free. 3 cheers!!!
You also can insert images, not only text.
don't understand how having to register an account for a blog hosting and creating tool is a downside and it's pretty clearly communicated what the product is and is not.
Neutral comment:
In spite of having a Github to host it's code, it's apparently written as it's own platform than a script you can host yourself. There is a fork called Polar Bear Blog that can be, however it's written in Go. So if you know Go, maybe it'll work for you.
Easy to understand, easy to use, loads fast, doesn't distract you from the actual act of publishing blog posts (which we're all here for).
