twenty-three million

beards.org twenty-three million

It took a bit longer than expected, but we’ve bumped up the beards.org gallery view counter to twenty-three million. It hit the new milestone around 8:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, yesterday, the 26th of May. I missed seeing which was the ceremonial twenty-three millionth photo by just a few minutes. So I’ll just put up another photo of Vincent to mark the occasion!

Thanks for your continued interest in all about beards! Keep growing!

Vincent again!

Vincent was kind enough to participate in a second beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Regarding Vincent and his beard, he is bold. He has the courage to grow the kind of beard that he wants, with a natural cheek line that reaches fairly high. And contrary to the fears expressed by others that higher cheek lines or natural cheek lines will bring a storm of criticism, Vincent has only received compliments, support, and appreciation for growing his bold beard. His beard pretty much demands admiration and respect!

Here are some sample shots from Vincent’s second beards.org photo shoot, starting with the very first shot of the afternoon.

Vincent!

Beards.org is extremely proud to present Vincent! He was kind enough to participate in a beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Vincent’s mighty, mighty beard commands attention, respect, and abundant praise. This was demonstrated repeatedly during the afternoon as countless passersby complimented Vincent on his beard. Everyone was captivated and responded so positively to Vincent’s beard. Take note, those of you who are shy about growing your beard. Be bold like Vincent and grow for it!

Here are some sample shots from Saturday’s photo shoot, starting with the very first shot of the afternoon.

Conner was kind enough to participate in an official beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Don’t let the blonde color fool you. This is one powerful beard! Conner will be joining the beards.org featured beards section in the near future. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, here are some preview photos from yesterday’s photo shoot.

seventeen years of all about beards

17 years of all about beards

It’s the seventeenth anniversary of all about beards today on the seventeenth of January, 2013. To mark this occasion, I’ve created a special video with a look back at some of the history and features of the site. To see the video on YouTube, which is on the all about beards YouTube Channel, just click on the image above.  Or click on the embedded video below to watch it on this page.

twenty-two million already?

beards.org twenty-two million

I knew the view counter on the gallery was nearing twenty-two million and should hit it in the coming days. Actually, I had hoped to reach it before the end of 2012. The beards.org gallery view counter hit twenty-two million already this morning some time while I wasn’t expecting it. Therefore, I did not see which was the lucky twenty-tow millionth photo viewed. So I’ve just selected an image from Andy‘s album to commemorate today’s milestone.

This counter started at zero back on January 26, 2006. That’s when the gallery moved to the current software package. The true count is not known because of database glitches and other various subtractions over the years. There are also some legacy photo galleries within the site that remain outside the main, whose views are not counted in this total. We can say, however, that the true count is greater than the number displayed. And where can you see this counter? It appears here.

Thanks for your interest in all about beards! Keep growing!
