Since I've started to blog on serious level, I've come to find out that the most important page on my blog was the About page. I've spent quite a bit of time browsing the web and I've noticed myself looking for the About page quite often as the sites purpose was not immediately defined. I've been thankful to those who have a page set aside to describe what their site is all about. For those that don't have an about page, you are truly doing yourself and your audience a dis service.

Tips on writing a good about page:

1. First, make sure the link to your About page is in an expected location. Typically, the majority of sites either place an about link at the top or bottom of the site within the navigation links.
2. In the first paragraph, be clear, concise and to the point in a paragraph or less as to what your blog is all about.
3. The about page is a nice place to present an image of yourself to let people know you are a human being.
4. For personal blogs, you can add profile information such as name, occupation, and miscellaneous information.
5. Near the bottom of the about page, I suggest providing readers with a descriptive backlog as to why your blog exists. This includes highlighting the topics you write about, the goals you have in mind, and your inspiration for blogging.
6. At the end of the about page, give your readers links to other places on the web where they can find your work.

So tell me, have you ever visited a web site that you wanted to know more about but yet, you couldn't find an about page? Does this frustrate you? Have you taken the time recently to give your About page the love it deserves?
