Hi my nice fellow members,

I want to discuss with you what you should put on your About Me page. I have seen some new members struggle with it. Hopefully, you will have a better idea after you read this blog.

As the name suggest, "About Me" page should be information about yourself. When your visitors click on this page, they expect you will tell them something about yourself. Not just your name.

Here is what I suggest you put in:

  • your name
  • your photo, maybe a photo with your family or love one. You and your dog. etc.
  • tell them something about yourself, your background, your hobby, where you live, your family and so on.
  • a little story about yourself, something interesting, something funny.
  • why you create this website, what do you want to achieve
  • if you want to sell WA on this page, just a few lines. Put a WA link but not banner. You don't want to be appeared as you are so desperate for money.
  • greeting and wish your visitor good luck or wish them well.
  • your name again at the end or with you signature

Now, I will give you an example of my about me page:

Hi, I am MisterWailor. Welcome to my website.

I am a thinker. I have done a lot of thinking on what is the meaning of life and also I study human behaviors. What I have discovered, I will reveal them to you gradually. So come back often.

It all started many years ago when I was only seventeen.

It was a summer holiday, and the weather was hot. If you have been to Asia, you would know how humid it is. Normally, I would called my friends and we would go swimming at the beach. I tried ringing them, but I could not reach any of them. So there I was almost alone in my house, my mum was doing housework in the kitchen. I felt lonely. My mum was surprised that I was just sitting there doing nothing. She offered me some money, she thought I had no money to hang out with my friends.

So, what did I do? I tried drawing pictures, writing poems and reading - but still I felt something is missing. I don't know what to do. Suddenly, I asked myself, "what is life all about?" At that moment, I was just trying to entertain myself. I sat on my bed for the next few hours trying to come up with an answer. I thought I need happiness, but what bring happiness? Is it money? I discarded that idea - there are plenty of unhappy rich people. I don't know the answer. At the end I say to myself, "I will just be happy no matter what I do."

From that day forward, I got into the habit of contemplation. I became a thinker. Then I started to understand more and more of what life is. When I tell you my ideas, you might think I am childish. Maybe I am, but more often than not, a child has the purest heart. You will start to understand more of me when you read my posts.

That is only part of my intention, I want to understand you too. Please give me your story and comment. I love to know about you and what you think. I hope I could learn even more by listening to you.
