Quality content is king (or queen). It is very important that you understand this right from the get go, you are going to have much more success with your website, much higher rankings in Google and other search engines, and you will build a lot better brand and a lot more trust with your readers.
In this video I am going to walk you through the importance of quality content and I am going to show you how to create your initial two pages on your website, your About Me and your Privacy Policy.
Here are the examples of these pages that I created within this tutorial:
About Me: http://howtolosebellyfattoday.com/about-me
Privacy Policy: http://howtolosebellyfattoday.com/privacy-policy
If you can master the idea of quality content, you will be very successful online. This means in terms of your readership, your SEO activities, and the revenue you are able to generate through your website.
Also, remember that you SHOULD NOT promote anything at this point. Your initial focus should be creating your initial content base (which will lead to rankings and traffic). Once you have rankings and traffic, that is when you can generate revenue through your site. Try to avoid putting the cart (promotions) before the horse (traffic).
Here is the example privacy policy:

Your site name could even be simply, "Motorcycles for Women", without the "All", and importantly without changing your domain name. Some match site name to domain name, some tweak the site name.
The Answer to your first question regarding the About page perspective is YES. Just keep your perspective consistent across the site.
In other words, if you will be approaching articles from the perspective of several authors, or from the perspective of a company viewpoint (sales and/or service), then by all means, make the about page from a site or company perspective, whichever fits.
But if the site will take on a very personal approach, like what you might imagine of a typical blogger's website; then it may make more sense to have the about page about you, your experience with bikes, your passion for bikes, etc., focusing on credibility and personal story—just as Kyle's own example About Me page does.
If you go with the company or site perspective on your About page, and if you are the primary or sole author, then consider having a separate page, "About Linda", to which you can link from a custom author's byline in your articles, for example. This would provide curious readers with a little background on their favorite author and guide through the site—you. You could delete this page from all menus, so that the primary way to navigate to it would be through the custom bylines. If you have several authors on the company site, then you could do the same for each, and add an "authors" category or tag to these about-{author} pages.
Just some ideas to bounce around,

My thoughts above still apply and I hope that they help resolve your questions on site titles and about pages, going forward. :)
Congratulations, again on your domain, and on your decision to partner with WA for education and hosting. We have a great and responsive community, here.

I have added my "about me" page and privacy policy etc..
I changed my theme to see what another one would look like, then changed it back, and now I can't see my pages listed at the top of my site.
When I am in the editor area, and I press "preview" it does however show that everything is there with all the information that I have entered.
Please help!

If still nothing, you may want to check this area as well. Go to Appearance – Menus – Manage Locations. Below Assigned Menu, select primary/main menu and click Save Changes.
