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.

  Anybody who follows me on Twitter or Instagram would have noticed that Ive been taking part in FatMumSlims Photo-a-day Challenge for January.

  Sarah's Musings — Authority: 85
  I have been so busy over the last few months I have badly neglected this blog. And to be honest, Ive spread myself too thin across the board. So I have just handed in my notice at Griffith University and will no longer be teaching undergraduate midwifery students in Brisbane. This is a proactive measure I have ...

• Sharing Time!

  
  misszoot.com — Authority: 409
  When you juggle as many balls as I do, you periodically drop one or two. It doesn’t mean you need to quit juggling, it just means you got a little overwhelmed and one hit the ground. What matters is the importance of that ball. Did you forget milk at the grocery store – something easily rectified by another trip ...

  The Generous Husband — Authority: 413
  You may STOP kissing the bride now.   Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. The pictures here will show that we really liked each other when we got married. I mean we REALLY liked each other.   However, no matter how much love you have, there are difficulties. On lists of “top 10 divorce risks,” we ...

  MODA CADISI — Authority: 107
  Pazar günü, paylaşmazsam üzüleceğim harika bir gün geçirdim. Gözümüzü parlayan güneşe açınca planımız belli oldu. Evden Karaköye yürümek, Namlıda kahvaltı etmek ve Salvador Dali sergisini gezmek. Giyinip attık kendimizi yollara, güneş parlıyordu ama  o gün İstanbulda yaşadığımız en ...

  Life in 3D — Authority: 450
  As Linoge over at Walls of the City (which should have been on my blog roll a long time ago) noted, I am now venturing into making custom grips.  I actually got going in this direction because my wife has tiny hands and she was not happy with the grips on her revolver.  Me, being the kind of guy I am, looked at it ...

  Motel 6 Kerrville - 1987 This post, and those from the last several days, were written a week ago and set to auto publish. The reason for this is that my bride and I have run away for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. Yes, we braved the pass in the snow just to get away together.  Mexican Cruise ...

  Tabata ... I had never heard of this before until last Friday. If you talk workouts with me and I dont know what youre talking about, I will spend hours upon hours of researching it.

  Confessions of a Cohabitant — Authority: 99
  While I dont normally pay attention to analytics from this blog, I will occasionally peruse my stats and see when and where people are meeting and what seems to be better days to post versus others.

• I Never

  
  Another Day Of Life — Authority: 99
  I look back and forth at my life both with satisfaction and bewilderment. I can see the paths I took that led me to where I am, yet often can’t remember the reason I took the paths I took, to lead me to this place. I have a large amount of wonderful happy things in my life, but also things of puzzlement and wonder. ...

  Social, Agile, and Transformation — Authority: 79

• Living By My Mission

  
  Natural Weight Loss Blog: The Token Fat Girl — Authority: 104
  Figuring out what I want is key. Any time that familiar voice tells me "Well you could eat a pint of ice cream. No one would know. You could just start over tomorrow. You deserve it." I have a back up plan, and that plan is my mission. My mission is to do what is good for me, not what I think I deserve momentarily. ...

• The One Where the World of PR Makes me Cook

  
  Who's the Mummy? — Authority: 103
  It’s fair to say that I’m not a domestic goddess. I burn dinner as often as I serve it successfully, and my lunchtime repertoire tends to extend as far as toast and, erm, more toast. The world of PR has, to be fair, made some sterling efforts to get me cooking over recent months. First up, Morphy Richards ...

  Chiot's Run — Authority: 110
  Every now and then I reach into the junk drawer in the kitchen for a pencil, which doesn’t happen very often. I don’t like to use pencils being more of a cheap bic pen person. This pencil shows you exactly how little I use a pencil: Yes, I got this pencil in 1990 when the census representative stopped by our ...

  Sidey’s Weekend Theme is “an alternate reality”. I haven’t come up with a story for this yet (though in an alternate reality I have, of course, already written it) but I promise that I will, though when it might appear may stretch the definition of “weekend” about as far as it will go. Because today is ...
