I just need to take a minute to say something about blogs.
I look at a lot of different blogs, and most of them are great. But even the greatest ones do something that is a huge pet peeve of mine.
Disclaimer: This is just my opinion as an amateur blogger. But as a lifelong reader, I think it’s a good one.
To me, an “About” page should be, primarily, about the blog. It should not be the author’s life story. Maybe it talks a little bit about the blogger as well, but that should be secondary. While I do like getting to know the person behind the words (truly), the actual content of the blog is what will make me stay or go.
Yes, I realize that I have an “About” page, but it’s an “About Me” page. I chose to describe the blog in a sidebar.
