I updated my About page to include an e-mail address… I used to have a link to a profile page with an e-mail address :( Too many clicks.
Unfortunately my blog is still to new to have any great key pages just yet… I think all the posts are pretty neat :)

Pop by and let me know what you think.

Cheers
Al

I updated my “about” page – aka “my complete profile page” on blogger. I was amazed how much I wanted to change it in just a couple of months of blogging. I was also amazed how many other people have momming as an interest on their profile. Here I thought I invented a new word…

I agree, Intresting to know that at the moment my about page is my most visited page. Just did a major overhaul added more personal details and pictures and it’s making a difference.

I’m a travel blog and wasn’t giving any indication as to who I was. Now it feels more personal and leads to trust.

Darren,
I do update my blog almost every week. It’s a very good idea to update pages and posts on your blog regularly.

Respect!
Every day I think nah I won’t get anything from this one – and then I do the exercise and get so much from it.
This was great on several levels -
- I didn’t even know which pages were the most popular (I use analytics – but had not looked at that bit of it – enlightening!)
So far I have revisited 2 of them and have found ways to make them more useful/ push people deeper into the site via relevant links/ sharpen up the copy.
I do feel Darren as if I am like Sisyphus – the job is never-ending – however the difference is that unlike Sisyphus this one is interesting and rewarding. I have come to the conclusion though that I need another 24 hours in every day.

I worked on a contact page for my site. Still needs a little tweaking, but it’s a start.

This post was extemely useful for me because I went back and tweaked some popular posts on the site and thought about the way I was presenting information.

Most importantly I updated the my about page which was previously both pompous and bare. I think it looks much better now.

Thanks Darren!

I got a little crazy and updated my entire blog look! I suppose it was due for an update. Have a look and let me know what you think:

Hi Darren, I could not log in to 31DBBB Forum, the password didn’t work, it used to work. Did you change the password I might not pay attention? As I haven’t read all emails from you?

Thanks!

I’m BACK!!11 days behind the challenge..Been too busy at home and also prepare a new culinary blog about Bali, coming very soon this week!

Darren,my header,logo, tag line,etc,will not be changed, simply because I received many comments from my readers that they like my blog theme specially the tag line of “Learning from mistakes project” so much it has now become some sort of http://www.beeamazing signature :) (thanks to WP).

My About page was the first one I wrote when I started make this blog as I know how importance it is to let the readers know about my profile and what the blog is all about.

I have however do a little “clean up” on the front page by removing the Calendar widget as I think is not really useful and relevant anymore with my latest traffic to my blog. People coming to #Beeamazing tend to read the latest post or directly to the page they’re interested in when they got the link either from social medias or google search, and not by date of archives.

I haven’t intended updating some old posts yet as I think it looks all fine :)

Terima kasih!

Mr. Rowse,

This is probably my favorite of your posts that I have read, if simply for the fact that I’m a beginning blogger and have had NO idea how to approach the tasks at hand. I have a lot of work to do…

well, this one was an easy one for me (hehehe…) mainly because I have a brand new blog and most didn’t need updating. But I do have to remember to get to this exercise periodically once my blog runs for a while …

I really don’t have anything on my about me page because I never assume anyone will really care about me. I will have to fix it.

Redid my about page, added some pictures to give a little more mass as to who I am.

Because I am a guide for newbies I have used the term “Your Guide” instead of the “About”.

Anyone- does that work? I would appreciate your comments.

Finally working on catching up on the challenges – today I updated my “About M.E.” page. I still don’t love it, but I put a little bit more thought into it. It’s better than what it was originally…

Any suggestions as to additions/improvements would be greatly appreciated!

We have been putting off doing an about us page and contact page for so long. I must say it was a rewarding experience to finally complete this exercise.

To us
* your elevator pitch says “what you do” but
* your about page says “why you do it”

and as the saying goes
“if you have a why the how is easy”.

Our about us page will be something for us to refer back to if we ever lack motivation to continue blogging.

TIP
Look at the recommended about us page from one of the recommended resources back in Day 4 — http://chris.pirillo.com/about/. It is a great about page model to follow.

My blog is my front page. Does anyone think it is imperative to have a stand alone front page or can I leave it the way it is. I have a coaching page that I was thinking about adding as the front page or take part of it and make a front page. If anyone has an idea let me know.

What a great reminder. At work, I’m constantly working to update our most visited pages – not sure why I didn’t think of doing this for my blog.

I did recently update a few things and add some new features since I feel that our blog is pretty basic. Sometimes I feel that the simple nature of the design allows the stories to stand out – but other times I see it as boring.

Any thoughts???

I’d love some feedback. I think there’s still more updating to do. THANKS!
