It seems like a lot of bloggers don't want to brag about their accomplishments, but on the other hand, we want our readers to know more about us and where we are coming from. Unfortunately with the amount of blogs out there, if we don't promote ourselves, we may never get found. Oh, what a fine line we walk. Have fun with it. Let me know when you're done and I'll come by and check it out. You’re welcome Keith,

You’re not alone in having trouble with writing your “about” page. It seems like a lot of bloggers don’t want to brag about their accomplishments, but on the other hand, we want our readers to know more about us and where we are coming from.

Have fun with it. Let me know when you’re done and I’ll come by and check it out.

I'm in the process of writing my about me page and sidebar item... I've been dreading it. It can sound as though you are bragging when you talk about yopurself! Heaven forbid we should do that. I'll just follow your guidelines. .-= Check out Keith Davis´s awesome post: <a href="http://easypublicspeaking.co.uk/starting-public-speaking/" rel="nofollow">easy peasy!</a> =-.

You know I read your comment earlier (like two weeks ago) and got sidetracked. Yes. Threaded comments are what I need to add. Trust me it's on my list. :) Hi Alex - That's great how you used your About page to share how you rid yourself of "someday". It makes for a great testimonial to your clients, too. Hi Kathy - Good point. About me pages do not get buried like a normal post does. All the more reason to put a little extra effort into it. Hi Internet Strategist - I never thought of that. But yes, we do want to know we can trust who we buy from. Hi Patricia - I hear you. The about pages can "sell" a blogger or sink them. Also, they have to be honest. If a blogger writes something on their about page but contradicts it in posts or comments on other sites, I begin to doubt their authenticity. Hi Jannie - You're welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing more info on your CD. You're a star. :) Hi Liz - That's a great reminder of how, depending on what type of blog we have, often determines what we put in our about page. If it 's work related, it's best to sound more professional. Hi Stacey - Yes. Updating our about pages is crucial. Like you said, your blog and services are changing direction. Without updating your about page, readers and clients could easily become confused. Hi Dennis – Haha! You know I read your comment earlier (like two weeks ago) and got sidetracked. Yes.

I think for a book, the "About" never really changes, but for a dynamic blog, it is a great idea to review and potentially update your "About" page every 3-4 months.
