I'll be the first to admit that I'm just as nosy as my visitors: I love clicking on `About Me` buttons as soon as I see one, and I'm disappointed when there isn't any---up to the point of me leaving the "personal" blog or not bookmarking it in my feed reader. I want to get to know the person who wrote that compelling article. What else keeps them busy in life? Bonus points for cat pics, obviously.

The question then becomes: what to put on that `/about` page? Just your professional history, making it more like a boring résumé, hoping the blog will help you land a job? Your hobbies and coordinates? Your marital status? A complete summary of the technical tools wielded and endless prowess showcased when building your custom blog engine? A list of social media links where people can also find you? How many years you've been uploading words onto a server? A selection of the most popular articles you've written so far? A lovely photo of you in a suit presenting something at an important conference? The question then becomes: what to put on that `/about` page?

[^mar]: Your _martial_ status---at first an honest typo---might be more exciting. Deadly? Ready? Tell us!
I don't really know and I've never been happy with what's on my own about page. For some reason, I'm not creative enough to come up with anything else besides a dumb enumeration of things that keep me busy, mostly on a professional level. Not everything needs to be put online. What I do know, though, is that such a page should come equipped with contact information---preferably an email address. I like saying thanks through email.
