Sorry for the delay in posting folks! I just started up at a new job, so the transitioning has led to a slight lag in my availability. However, I should be back for good now, so lets get back into it!
First things first, on Day 15 we ran a quick contest to give away a 125×125 banner advertisement. The winner of that competition is: “Aman@BullsBattleBears“, so a big congratulations to you… and thanks for your participation. 
Your Next 30-Minute Mission…
On Day 16, we explored the wonderful world of WordPress Pages… and we made our “Contact Us” page to create an easier connection between blogger and reader on our websites. Use your next 30 minutes to make an “About Us” page, much similar to this communications page.
Why “About Us”?
I believe that it is especially important to create an “About” page for any blog simply because so many readers will be looking for it. You may be thinking that people will be reading your material and moving on, but when a reader sees something they like… it is highly likely that they will be compelled to seek out who wrote it! The amount of hits to my About Us page on Jimvesting has been stunning considering that I do not promote it at all. This tells you that the demand is strong, and it is a page that you need to have.
In addition to sheer demand, About pages are nice because they create a better bridge between your readers and you! Much like the contact page, peopel the come across your blog really want to feel that they know the face behind it all. Additionally, people that choose to deal with you in partnerships, advertisements and more typically request to know a bit about you. Why not knock out a step and give them what they want here?
Things to Include on your About Us Page:
- Biography
- Pictures
- About the Blog
- Why You Started the Blog
- Topics that you Cover
- Fun Facts
With this, you should have everything that you need to get started on your “About Us” page. Set those pages up, and be sure to check back tomorrow for more from Jimvesting’s Build-A-Blog Workshop!

I read a lot of blogs, and having an ‘about’ page is a big plus. I like to know about the writer, even if it just a small pic, or their age, or interests. Helps me relate to them.
I have a degree in online journalism, but I’m interested in learning how to create web page mock-ups.I already know XHTML & CSS from job experience, now I want to pursue a career in graphic arts or web design.

An about page is as important as monetizing the site. Without an about page the site is incomplete. Totally.
one of the best benefits of Having ABOUT US page is it will describe that your site is good.
sweet…excited about the win!!…going back to the “about” page, how long do you think is an appropriate length. I think mine is fairly long but have seen big blogs with either longer ones, or shorter ones.
Great post. About us page is definitely one of the most important pages on any website or blog.
I believe the About Me page is very important. I know I’m always adding and editing that page on my blogs.
Great post. I check my analytics and saw many people go about page. i will focus on it after reading your post. Good share.
