Welcome to the World of Bears!

To clarify, I am talking about burgers FOR bears, not burgers MADE FROM bears!

BEAR BURGERS

Discuss!

OK guys, now there's a shelf full of bears to play with at http://worldofbears.net/bears.html

There is more good news to share.

As requested long ago, the big hairless bear no longer need stay on top. Double-click on your bear of choice to bring it to the front. Don't forget to save!

Very good news today.

Perhaps you remember some bears you may drag and drop:

Well now you can save those bears' positions, to come back later to where you left off. Simply hit the "Save" button when you're satisfied with the arrangement of the bears. That'll do the trick.

Stay tuned for more exciting developments. Perhaps we'll add some shelves to put the bears on, for when you want to tidy up.

A testimonial from a formerly grumpy bear is up at http://worldofbears.net/testimonials.txt -- and you might also want to know about a panda hugging a lion!

An astute reader alerts us to some breaking bear news:

"The birth of a wild bear may be shown live on the internet, scientists hope" -- "in the coming days"!

I know it's been a long time but I have something for you here:

http://worldofbears.net/reading_a_story.html

It's our newest story here at WorldOfBears.net!

Hope you'll stay a while!

Well would you take a look at this:

http://worldofbears.net/testimonials.txt

That's right folks, we've got a new testimonial for the new year and it's from our very own mother!

Another visual change happened today. Now all the text printed in the site is light blue by default. It seems easier on the eyes, but I don't know.

Let me know if you have any other ideas. We'll keep tweaking this until it's right, I can tell you that much.

And while I've got your ear: a happy new year, from all the bears here!

Well guess what. Today we have decorated the place, and isn't it just a charm?

Welcome to the World of Bears, and make yourself at home!

Today we completed a very large software upgrade on this site. The highlight: this page is now powered by a lovely blog software by one of our readers. That means from now on you can follow our progress on RSS which is to be found here: http://worldofbears.net/news.html/rss

Digby says it's good news for panda lovers so I think we can all have a very merry Christmas here at WorldOfBears.net!

Well what do you know; a Hanukkah bear!

An astute reader, writing from a foreign land, sends a photo of these bears. They're sideways, but I hope you won't mind.

WorldOfBears.net has published its first work: Time & the Bear: a short tale. Please enjoy.

An astute reader has brought an unconventional bear to my attention. Here it is.

Here is a very informative website about bears that we all can learn from.

I have added a page to collect testimonials and comments: http://worldofbears.net/testimonials.txt

Created this news page

Many of you have asked how to drag and drop the bears in the third dimension so that "the big hairless bear [doesn't] always stay on top."

The answer is that this feature is pending.

I am thinking of using doubleclicks to move a bear closer in the z-axis. But I have not yet begun to investigate this, and I am open to other user interfaces.

I hope to add the feature this weekend. Patches are welcome (preferably using jQuery)

Hey guys,

I've added a new bear you can drag and drop:

http://worldofbears.net/bears.html

It's from this article about bears who are having problems with their hair:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1225042/Bald-bears-baffle-vets-mystery-condition-German-zoo.html

I thought we all might like to drag and drop that bear, to show support.
