I don't have an about me page but still I can give some tips.

  • Include a photo of yours with a brief bio. Your name, age, qualification, location, profession etc.
  • Why you started the blog? 
  • What are the things one can find on your blog?
  • Mention about any awards received / contests won like IB contests.
  • Give links to your facebook, twitter, linked in ( if you manage to create an account ) profiles.

thanks Rajni ji... but:-

 

-> why people will be interested to see my photo? What is their headache with my age, lack of degrees and hazards associated with my occupation?

 

-> yes it's a good point!!!

 

-> hmmm I'll tell the world in loud voice!!!

 

-> Do I have to mention that I've never been awared anything for my bla blas? pathetic... somewhat hmmm?

 

-> Facebook, gmail, twitter (i don't twitt though) will be enough right?

Ranjith

Anna ji,

  • Some of the popular blogs have a face. For example, ProBlogger has Darren's face. People ( at least me ) are interested in knowing more about the blogger. So, adding details shouldn't be taken as a headache. Wink
  • .
  • .
  • You have an article published in a travel magazine. You can mention it. Smile
  • Gmail? You mean your mail id? Don't - You will be spammed.

Why age Ranjit?
Ranjith

@ Madhu So that things will become easier for those people searching for a blogger to marry. Sealed

Madhu Bhardwaj

@Ranjith I just saw your answer to my question. "Why age?" Well, the answer to your answer is that as i adviced someone free on  IndiTalk the other day that they would need to go to Shadi.com or romance.com for their requirement then. Yahan toh sirf baaten milengi. Chahiye toh batao. Ranjith let me know if you need translation. 

 

Ranjith
from hyderabad
10 years ago

Translation not required. I Understood it.

Mentioning their age is upto the blogger. If he/she feels comfortable and wants to mention his/her age, he/she can do so in the about page. Otherwise, he/she can leave it.

My previous answer ( to your question 'Why age? ') was meant to be taken as a joke.

Madhu Bhardwaj

@Ranjith, we are quits. You did not understand that my answer to your answer was a joke too. Forgot to make this smiley. :P

Even I'm not interested in creating an about page for my blog. Laughing

Seeing Anunoy's page I am getting tempted to add my pics having dinner with obama, my patting him and he pattinv me back. But then, I say to myself, why,

Ranjith

Ranjith

Rio, you are the top all time forum hero. Laughing

Sfurti,  that's why I haven't added my page with extravagant pics. People will think their copied stuff is recopied. But real one shines among stars.Laughing

Ranjith, obama had confided in me once, he was dying to meet Ranjith,  but he felt little shy to approach you.Laughing

Ranjith
from hyderabad

Sfurti! Rio is saying that your sweet memories with Obama are photoshopped ones. 

Ranjith
from hyderabad
10 years ago

I'll call Obama and give him an appointment to meet me. 

I didn't say that, I said people,  and every one knows sfurti is above the people category. Sfurti to had met obama, I know that for sure as obama had mentioned about it and how glad he was to get guidance in economic revival.

Sure dude, obama will be dancing hearing this news.

Ranjith so if we have to search something about google we should do Pankti???              

Ranjith

Pankti is the search engine for IronMan and not for Google. So, if you want to google Google then you should google Google. Cool

Anunoy Samanta

Rajni, at first I had named it 'about' but hunky suggested that my about page wasn't suitable to be called an 'about' for the blogs..... so I changed it to 'about me' as those 2 are my personal blogs... no harm... and I'm happy!

It could be 'about us' if there're more members like hunky's blog....

Sometimes i may end up writing an about/about this blog page for my blogs....

Ranjith
from hyderabad
10 years ago

I prefer to name my page as 'About Us' even though I alone maintain my blog. It sounds more respectable. Wink

Thanks AS. At last someone answered my question. Cool You want to write an about page for your about page? Innocent

Sfurti Juztamom
from Mumbai

Ranjith...My page is called.."A bit about me" because it is just a bit about me and now  

Anunoy Samanta
from Bardhaman

then what does my about me page deserve? 'all about me'???

Ranjith
from hyderabad
