About me

'About me' is a phrase that bloggers use to describe a page on their blog where they share some personal information about themselves with their readers.  For individual bloggers it is normally very informal in tone, often detailing the number of children or pets the author has.  For corporate websites and blogs, the information shared is less personal, but still written in an informal tone, often describing the company's charitable efforts.

The 'about' or 'about me' page is designed to help the reader connect with the author on a more personal level, and therefore view the information delivered on the blog or website as more trustworthy, as is the advice of a friend. 

Many individual bloggers write their 'about me' pages full of humor and satire, and are therefore very enjoyable to read.  No matter the tone, they are a good way to get to know the authors of your favorite blogs.

  Plastic Obsession — Authority: 125

I did well in my studies, got along with almost everyone and did my own thing without real worry of how I would be labelled. Overall, my educational experience was fairly decent and the social ...

  ohfortheloveofblog — Authority: 115
  Back in January I wrote about intuition and the debilitating panic attacks I had during my first pregnancy. I remember the awfulness of those feelings very clearly, but the more time has passed since Ive recovered from them the more Ive realised how they were so very much a condition, how foreign those feelings of ...

  do they read obituaries in hell? — Authority: 120
  I finally talked to my brother this morning, giving him crap about being m.i.a. for the last few weeks. I knew he was somewhere in Kentucky or Pennsylvania working overnight shifts, but didnt realize they were 12-hour shifts that included weekends. Apparently, in the last two weeks he logged in 144 hours--including ...

  ….because according to Moonspun , I’m a badass.   I think it’s because I forced her to eat good food, drink good wine, and sleep on an air mattress in Toys R Cenzo when she came to visit.  Or maybe because I kept her up too late  and made her cook for me after she worked all day and drove 3 hours in the ...

  I managed to make it to day 14 before I started feeling really annoyed with NaBloPoMo.In other news, it appears I do not have H1N1.  Instead, I think I had a hangover and a scratchy throat quite possibly caused by jamming my fist in my mouth repeatedly. Ahem.I am off to bed.

  I guess on a side note I should say that my doctor’s visit went fine. There is nothing else wrong with me on top of the PCOS and he’s happy with how the metformin seems to me working and I should continue to try to lose weight, but that was the extent of that discussion.  I did show him the remains of my giant ...

  Reflecting — Authority: 115
  It is not quite six o’clock on Saturday morning and I have just completed writing the novel I started two weeks ago for National Novel Writing Month . At 52,169 words, it is being generous to label this a novel but given the guidelines we followed, it is. A short novel. A long short story. Either way, it is ...
