		<description>You can also be creative with your about pages.  I&#039;ve seen some pretty crazy ones that still convey a sense of what the blog and author are about - but the approach is definitely unconventional and doesn&#039;t contain what we&#039;d usually consider to be basic information.  Mine does not fall in this category...

Also consider putting the most important and relevant parts in the top paragraph or list of bullet points.  Not everyone is going to want to read paragraphs and paragraphs, which can be put further down the page.

Of course, with both these suggestions you need to consider the tone and brand of your blog.  What fits?

At one point my Inventing Elephants blog had multiple about pages for the different aspects of my experience.  I was providing too much information and condensed it all down to one page.  Those who most need to know that extra information will come looking for it or I can direct them to a fuller profile elsewhere (which I&#039;m thinking of doing.)
