Brian kindly participated in an exclusive photo shoot for all about beards yesterday, the 8th of March. This is a continuation of the site’s original beard photography project. Look for Brian soon in the featured beards section of the site.
Could you imagine never allowing the world to see this beard? This is Dale. More than a year ago, a friend recommended to Dale that he visit beards.org. Dale checked out the site and was immediately inspired to start growing his beard. He has been growing his beard and experimenting with different styles ever since. That’s one more beard in the world, thanks to beards.org.
Of course, Dale’s industrial-strength beard is not the only beard whose growth was inspired by the site. Several are documented in the beard success stories section of the site. Those, however, represent only a tiny fraction of the beards added to the world in response to the influence of beards.org. I know of lots more. I am sure that there are even more out there that I haven’t heard about and likely never will. If you are among those who grew a beard because this site convinced you to try it, drop me a line to let me know. And if you’d like to appear on the site, be sure to mention that!
If you know someone who could grow a beard, be sure to tell him to get to beards.org and start growing. He could be the next Dale! Remember that Dale’s example shows that it works! Do your part to add more beards to the world.

On January 17, 1996, all about beards first appeared on the worldwide web. On January 20, 2005, all about beards moved to its new home on the beards.org domain. Today, all about beards remains the longest-running beard site on the web and is going stronger than ever on its twelfth anniversary.
Keep growing those beards.
Happy New Year from all about beards!
Later this month, the site celebrates its twelfth anniversary. Beards are continuing to gain momentum with each year that passes. Let’s make 2008 the best year ever for beards.
As the first day of a new year, today is a great day to start growing your beard. Go to the growing a beard page and get started right now! Know anyone who can grow a beard but hasn’t? Send them all to the growing a beard page and have them get started growing right now!
Have a GREAT bearded 2008!
Salvatore kindly participated in another exclusive beards.org photo shoot today. Look for an update soon! Below are two preview shots from today.
At 1:59 PM PDT today, the beards.org photo gallery hit two million views! Counting began on the 26th of January of 2006 when most of the site’s standalone photo galleries were converted to the current system (Coppermine Photo Gallery). The true number of views is actually higher than what appears on the counter at any time because a hard drive failure on the server a while back forced a recovery from an older version of the database. That rolled the count back by several day’s worth of views. The count also does not reflect the total number of image views on the site since January 26, 2006 because some of the site’s galleries are still standalone — including the popular “original truly outstanding beard gallery” — and image views in those galleries are not included in the count. Nevertheless, the 2,000,000 views milestone is worth some celebrating!
Who was lucky number two million? Patrick of the District of Columbia in the USA:
Click on the photo above to view the full-sized image in the gallery. Congratulations, Patrick! And in a self-congratulatory mood, congratulations to “all about beards” at beards.org!
Let’s just say that June has presented some challenges. Site updates would be a good idea. They’re coming. Stay tuned!
Okay, okay. Here is one more sneak-preview photo of Rich and his amazing beard. Be sure to watch for him to appear soon in the featured beards section.
