Keep growing. Today marks the sixteenth anniversary of all about beards, the longest-running beard site on the web. If all about beards has encouraged you to grow your beard, helped you to improve your beard, improved your view of beards, or had any other positive impact on you, please share by leaving a comment here or sending an email. Thank you to all of the site’s friends for your support over the years.
The happiness for the new beard year did not even last one week for me. My little sister was taken from us unexpectedly — suddenly and without warning. The loss has been too difficult to bear. Understandably, updates to beards.org ground to a halt. Normally, I would see when the gallery views counter hits another million. This time, I did not. I figure, however, that it was most likely on January 9th.
Right now, I cannot feel any optimism for 2012. But I have to carry on. The sixteenth anniversary of “all about beards” is only days away now. In my sister’s honor, somehow, I will do everything I can to make it the best year yet for beards.org and to surpass that each year that follows.
Have a wonderful new beard year 2012! Happy beard growing!

Beards are all about manliness. But there is a lot more to manliness than beards. To make the most of your bearded manliness, you should check out The Art of Manliness. It is an amazing site devoted to the lost art of manliness. You’ll find all kinds of articles with great advice and information there. The site also is home to a thriving online community.
Plenty of our fans and friends found beards.org through The Art of Manliness. A beards.org guest article on The Art of Manliness site has been quite popular.

Jared was kind enough to come out on the last day of October for a second photo shoot. With his powerhouse beard enhanced with two more weeks of growth, we got even more photos as well as a little video. Here are some preview shots from yesterday’s photo shoot with Jared:
On Sunday, I had the unique opportunity and pleasure to do a beards.org photo shoot with Mike, his lovely wife, and their sweet little puppy. Mike has been a long-time friend of and cheer leader for beards.org. It was great to finally meet him. Here are some preview photos from his photo shoot yesterday. Watch for Mike’s upcoming beard feature right here on beards.org.
We don’t want to give the impression that Jason’s nothing more than a rough and tough guy who would rather punch you out than look at you. The photo above shows that he can smile and that he is really a nice guy. It’s true! He really is a nice guy!
Jason was kind enough to do a beards.org photo shoot today. Here are some preview shots.
