Dr Tanya of “Salted Caramel” is back with another blogging question this week and it is one that I feel quite strongly about.

TODAY’S QUESTIONS:

How important is the About page of your blog?

I think that the about page of a blog is very important. When I read an interesting post by a blogger that I’ve not come across before I like to visit their “About” page to see what their interests are and if I would like to follow their blog. I’ve noticed though, that many bloggers these days don’t have one which is a shame. It’s such a good opportunity to introduce yourself and explain what your blog is about.

What constitutes the perfect About page?

That’s up to the individual I think. Some people just list facts, some are funny, some write a short bio. I do think that a good About page should be a place for the writer to express their personality.

How often do you think an About page needs to be updated, and when is the last time you updated yours’ ?

I thought I had better check mine. It has a terrible photo of me taken in 2018 and it mentions living in Sisters Beach so I’d say that I last redid it about 2020. It’s pretty accurate fact wise but I might redo it just to make it a bit more interesting. I wish I had a better photo but I hate having my picture taken. I think it is good to update your page when your life circumstances change but it doesn’t have to be every year.
