What does your about you page say about you?

Posted on by

Man, was I in a writing mood today. It’s been a while since I’ve felt so full of words. My fingers have been glued to my keyboard for hours, and I’m pretty sure I’ve written more today then I have written this whole week! There are several posts on draft, but I have used most of my time to get my “About Me” page updated. If you’re interested, just click over to read more about Bob.

Just a few quick points on why I believe that solid About pages are important to have.

  1. You only get one chance for a first impression. This page is a reflection of you.
  2. Consider it your resume. People will form an opinion on you, going by what you’ve told them.
  3. The page is static, and it is only one click away. Put in some effort, people will notice  it.
  4. It’s a time saver, as It will allow you to have certain questions about yourself answered.
  5. It shows your commitment to your blog. You won’t be thought of as a fad.

    It’s in need of a little refresh, but here’s our “About” page:

    I especially like that your “About” page is not just an intro to you, but a story about who you are. However, maybe you need a different (or additional) photo of yourself – or maybe you & your wife?

    yes, i agree that sometimes you can just write and write and write. i usually go in phases with that though…where I really have a lot to say and then it disappears for a long time. i have been busy writing lately for http://www.floppycats.com but cannot get into my other site, http://www.antioxidant-fruits.com. nice post, though, enjoyed it.

    As long as you’re writing, I guess it doesn’t matter that much if its just for one of your sites. At least you’re being productive :)
