Novice Blogging - Note #9 (Some Kind Of Special)

Mama's Losin' ItToday's Novice Blogging Note is some kind of special. Why you may ask?
Did you notice that it came out on a Thursday (when it's usually on a Wednesday)? There's a reason for that. Today's Novice Blogging Note is actually brought to you by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop, who prompted me to write a post all about ME!

Well, okay, (hope I don't twist my tongue saying this) the prompt was about an ABOUT ME PAGE, not just all about me. But hey, any chance to talk about oneself is a good thing right? That's why we bloggers do what we bloggers do......

The About page was actually one of the first pages I did when I first started this blog not too long ago. And let me tell you, it was definitely one subject that was difficult to shut up about. It just went on a never-ending mode.....'cause you just know so much about yourself, don't you?

In the end, I decided to do some chopping....and more chopping. Chop! Hack! Slice! And voila! Check out the work-in-progress here....

The About page is very important to all blogs as it lets the readers:
- get to know you, the blogger, a bit better
- get to know what your blog is all about (duh!)
- get hold of you when they need to strangle you (lol!)

It has been more than 2 months since my About page has been published (far too long already if you ask me). Maybe it's time to spruce it up a bit. I wrote it when my blog was still unsure about its path or direction. Maybe I can add a section for my kids and hubby as blog experimental subjects or something. What do you think?

Any suggestions?

Its hard to write an about me page. I had mine sitting blank for ages before I wrote a half ass post, that I don't like but still have up there.

Yeah, I really need to work on it too.

I like your About page, but yes, I think it would be nice to hear something about your family too! VERY cute pic at the bottom of the About page. :))

I love this: Cyndi Lauper teenybopper. LOL

What about... why you write? What started you blogging? (not that I took my own advice at all...lol)

Stopping by from Mama Kat's Workshop. Great about me section. Not too long and not too short. While I too enjoy writing about myself like that, I hardly like to put such concise terms about me so I chose another writing prompt today. You just an awesome job though and I commend you for that. I'm your newest follower. Check me out too at http://leahainla.blogspot.com/

How wonderful that you are able to talk so easily about yourself. I strugle with it and often cannot do it. I fought to get the blog ithat I did.

I change mine periodically as my blog and I evolve. People want to know more about who they are reading. Go with what feels right!

Yay, another person from JOZI and we happen to have the same name ( well almost ) too. I love that you are so true to your heritage, where you are now and then your surname really puts another picure in ones mind. Nice blog. Visiting from Mama Kat's
