fourteen million!
Hey! Once more, we’ve got another million views on the gallery counter! I wasn’t at the computer at the time to witness the turnover to 14,000,000 views, so I don’t know which image was the fourteen millionth. So to illustrate this post, I’ve included another shot of Brian that appeared in his latest album update.
Thanks again to all of the friends and visitors to beards.org for your interest in the bearded cause. Keep growing!
Andy! Now that’s a BEARD!
Andy kindly participated in an official beards.org photo shoot on September 23rd, 2010. Unlike any other beards.org photo shoot to date, Andy’s photo also shoot included a trip to the barber shop for a haircut and beard trim. Here are some preview shots from the first part of the photo shoot.
Stay tuned for lots more of Andy!

thirteen million!
We’ve done it again! We’ve got another million views on the gallery counter! The thirteen-million milestone was reached sometime on the morning of July 4th, 2010.
We hit our previous milestone of twelve million gallery views back on March 31st, 2010. Remember, however, that the gallery counter started at zero on January 26, 2006. So we have had thirteen million views of photos in the gallery since January 26, 2006.
The number is a fun milestone to track, although the actual number of views is even larger. Sadly, when some images leave the gallery, their view counts get subtracted. That can whack off thousands from the counter at a time. Also, when Salvatore’s beard videos were hosted in the main gallery, the overall view count was boosted substantially. When I pulled the videos from the gallery (because they were using up all of the site’s monthly data transfer allowance), the overall count shrank some more, as well. If all of the subtractions were added back, the true number would be quite a bit higher.
Regardless, each additional million makes for a good occasion to stop and reflect for a moment and express thanks to all of beards.org’s loyal fans, friends, and visitors. It’s also a great time to thank and salute each and every bearded man who has joined the gallery.
I wasn’t at the computer when the counter hit thirteen million. So this post is illustrated with a previously-unpublished photo of Christopher.
Happy Birthday, USA! And best wishes to all friends of beards.org around the world!
site additions slowed in May
Circumstances slowed down the pace of adding new content to the site in May. I hope to make up for it in June!
twelve million!
The number of views of photos in the beard gallery hit twelve million sometime just before noon Pacific Daylight Time on March 31st, 2010! We hit eleven million views less than three months earlier on January 6, 2010. The counter started at zero on January 26, 2006. So the twelve million number represents only the number of views since January 26, 2006. Thanks to all of our loyal fans, friends, and visitors, the site continues to grow. We are experiencing some growing pains, but they are welcome. They are a sign of great things yet to come.
I wasn’t at the computer when the counter rolled over to twelve million. So this post is illustrated with a previously-unpublished photo of Tomas.
