Help Me Friends to make an ABOUT Page in my bLoGs
Hello friends,
I suddenly felt the need of creating an 'About' page for each of my 2 blogs. But I'm clueless what to write there. I know you may find the question dumb...yes, I agree it's... but, I'm only asking for points to cover and also how to design it nicely... Please switch on your torches and show me the path... advance THANKS for all of you!
Wow a smiley slugfest going on. I think upto now Sfurti is the winner
yes an umpire was long due....
two runners up Ranjith and Pankti (Pankti because she may kidnap me again)
Biased umpiring!!!
Yay Thanks Mr. Umpire...as long as I am winning it is not biased
And a consolation prize for AS a iPhone made in China for starting the thread so that sluggers can indulge in a smiley slugfest
Sfurti, are you using smileys after understanding their meaning or randomly choosing one from those smileys that look good?
I'm simply following you.
@ Vijay You are giving a prize to AS but not to first and second position winners?
Ranjith you should be winner for your excellent question to Sfurti, a iPhone made in India in Ulhasnagar (the best)
Ok how about one made in Ludhiana
Ranjith Ofcourse I am looking at what it means ....and then ignoring the meaning and using what I like
Vijay I won right...so where is my prize??????
You prize is first phone manufactured by students of IIT Roorkie which sends out actual smileys insteads of texts
happy with any chinese crap too... prize is a prize after all!
Vijay, you are quite smart to add me in the runner-up. Or I might have actually contemtplated kidnapping you.
@ Vijay Phone manufactured by student of IIT Roorkee? Pankti will be having a difficult time using it.
@ Sfurti Then I'll also simply follow your smileys and do . But why do you always insert three-four smileys instead of one?
Ranjith: I have my own iPhone. I don't want the one manufactured by IIT Roarkee students So I won't have any problem using it.
@Ranjith, today is just not my day. You are misssing my point in all my answers. I will just quit commenting for now. Tomorrow is another day!
Fan fareeeee curtain down. Fare thee well my friend.
Everyone is using too many smileys today ( inspired by Sfurti ). So, I am assuming that every reply not containing a smiley is a serious one.
Ranjith
see you tomorrow back with your iPad.... goodnight Madhu!
Rajni, I think you've forgotten to buy any gadget since a long long time.... isn't it? But Madhu got it in her B'day I guess... no contest prize...
I don't use any gadgets except my laptop and mobile ( only for making calls ) and most of my contest prizes are laying with packing intact.
.
Still Congrats Madhu.
hmmmm
What name do you prefer to give for your about page and why?
- About
- About Us
- About Me
- About this blog
Rajni, at first I had named it 'about' but hunky suggested that my about page wasn't suitable to be called an 'about' for the blogs..... so I changed it to 'about me' as those 2 are my personal blogs... no harm... and I'm happy!
It could be 'about us' if there're more members like hunky's blog....
Sometimes i may end up writing an about/about this blog page for my blogs....
I prefer to name my page as 'About Us' even though I alone maintain my blog. It sounds more respectable.
Thanks AS. At last someone answered my question. You want to write an about page for your about page?
Ranjith...My page is called.."A bit about me" because it is just a bit about me and now
then what does my about me page deserve? 'all about me'???
AS your about me page should be called...a tiny miny bitsy piece about me
The answer to your question is in the question itself @Ranjith.
OKey
now again this thread is getting slaughtered by high priority talks.... I'm enjoying....
AS, this thread has already finished its work - motivating you to create an about page. So, we are free to slaughter it.
To cool you down, I've a silly question about 'About Page' so that we can continue discussing about 'About Page'.
Ranjith, my boy, you are right. This thread has indeed served it's superior purpose in life. Now it's time to be butchered
Í think that Zee TV Meet Thread didn't have any purpose, so we killed it as early as possible.
@Ranjith: Awww....I didn't see that thread. Or I would have given my 2 cents. Sheesshhhhhhhhh...............
Pankti, even you have participated in the killing of that thread. ( link )
Pankti you were one of the lead killers of that thread dear...
Dont forget your contributions so quickly
And now
Ok guys carry on.... I'm also doing bolle bolle...
Punjabi dance anna....
Ranjith: whatever meets bengal A changes to O, karna becomes korna, etc.etc.
AS it can't be Bolle bolle...in any language its balle balle..aahu aahu
Yes Ria becomes Rio.... but that certainly doesn't mean that a Ria is hiding in the cloak of our Rio... I was just giving an example you know...
@ Rio My reply was for Sfurti. When I was typing my previous reply, AS's reply wasn't there.
What does this smiley mean?
Pankti Balle balle aahu aahu balle balle
hmmm.....
Bolle bolle....
hmmmmm
I don't have an About Me page. Period.
PS: I am not even interested in creating one. I wonder why?
Seeing Anunoy's page I am getting tempted to add my pics having dinner with obama, my patting him and he pattinv me back. But then, I say to myself, why,
Rio...really stop photo-shopping my pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ranjith, I do not want to let your image down bro. Kahan aap, kahan mai, a small pawn in front of you.
Sfurti, that's why I haven't added my page with extravagant pics. People will think their copied stuff is recopied. But real one shines among stars.
Ranjith, obama had confided in me once, he was dying to meet Ranjith, but he felt little shy to approach you.
Sfurti! Rio is saying that your sweet memories with Obama are photoshopped ones.
I didn't say that, I said people, and every one knows sfurti is above the people category. Sfurti to had met obama, I know that for sure as obama had mentioned about it and how glad he was to get guidance in economic revival.
Sure dude, obama will be dancing hearing this news.
Pankti, it's time you create one for you....
Rio...awwwww so sweet! How did I forget we went together to meet Obama
Ranjith Learn some things from your seniors like Rio
@AS: Why should I create an About Me page? What's so interesting about it? Readers should be fascinated by my writings, not by me, right?
When you want to shout when something on IB isn't working, what do you say? IndiTeam..... or Renie.... The same with your blog.
Now. don't tell me to create an about page for my blog.
Anunoy, : pankti ko defeat karna Mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai.
@Ranjith: If there's a problem on my blog, all they have to do is yell "Fire on the mountain; run, run, run." Problem solved
Pankti I'll surrender completely if you promise me that you never checked stuffs about iron man in google...
Rio I'm not into risky affairs when it comes to internet...lol
Why should Pankti google about IronMan? She knows more than Google.
Ranjith so if we have to search something about google we should do Pankti???
Pankti is the search engine for IronMan and not for Google. So, if you want to google Google then you should google Google.
Ranjith Aaaa so if I want to PAnkti Ironman, I should Pankti Ironman..Got it
Yes.
.
Pankti will kill us if we don't stop talking about Googling Pankti and Pankting Google.
@AS, I don't need to google about Iron Man.
@Ranjith and SFurti:
Pankti
OK Pankti, I'll take it that you were born with preloaded prospective info about Ironman.... quite a miracle!!!
OK Pankti, I'll take it that you were born with preloaded prospective info about Ironman.... quite a miracle!!!
AS
couldn't sleep till I made an 'about' page... It is here: http://just4suzan.blogspot.com/2013/07/about.html
I can sleep now... or may be I should sleep after lunch tomorrow!
since childhood I have been told, only balloons filled with hydrogen/helium can fly... believe me there's only heavy atmospheric pollutants inside my body, still I'm flying... Rio's magic!!!
Anything for you Anunoy,
Nice about page AS.
.
I think that now you can train others in creating their about pages.
thanks Rajni!!!
Signs of great men.... but you can also put little bit more brother... just for fun!!!
you need a 3-D glass Rajni
Now that you asked I can give link to my about page.no self promotional activities meant.
http://likemymusings.blogspot.in/p/about-me.html?m=0
Thanks for the link Rio. Nice page.
@AS Yesterday, I couldn't find / didn't notice that menu on the top. .... And if you want, you can give me 3D glasses.
No issues Ranjith, it is insignificant,
I don't have an about me page but still I can give some tips.
- Include a photo of yours with a brief bio. Your name, age, qualification, location, profession etc.
- Why you started the blog?
- What are the things one can find on your blog?
- Mention about any awards received / contests won like IB contests.
- Give links to your facebook, twitter, linked in ( if you manage to create an account ) profiles.
thanks Rajni ji... but:-
-> why people will be interested to see my photo? What is their headache with my age, lack of degrees and hazards associated with my occupation?
-> yes it's a good point!!!
-> hmmm I'll tell the world in loud voice!!!
-> Do I have to mention that I've never been awared anything for my bla blas? pathetic... somewhat hmmm?
-> Facebook, gmail, twitter (i don't twitt though) will be enough right?
Anna ji,
- Some of the popular blogs have a face. For example, ProBlogger has Darren's face. People ( at least me ) are interested in knowing more about the blogger. So, adding details shouldn't be taken as a headache.
- .
- .
- You have an article published in a travel magazine. You can mention it.
- Gmail? You mean your mail id? Don't - You will be spammed.
use image to provie the email address in that way bots cant read your email address, but people can
example ->
hmmmmm all helpful tips coming up... I'm collecting them.... !!!
Be careful. Bots are becoming more and more intelligent with every passing day.
@Rajni..
Not as much as you are at-least
Rajni let me put a rain check for your 3D glasses...
@ Madhu So that things will become easier for those people searching for a blogger to marry.
P.S. Right now, I'm not looking for a partner.
hahaaaaa
@Ranjith I just saw your answer to my question. "Why age?" Well, the answer to your answer is that as i adviced someone free on IndiTalk the other day that they would need to go to Shadi.com or romance.com for their requirement then. Yahan toh sirf baaten milengi. Chahiye toh batao. Ranjith let me know if you need translation.
Translation not required. I Understood it.
Mentioning their age is upto the blogger. If he/she feels comfortable and wants to mention his/her age, he/she can do so in the about page. Otherwise, he/she can leave it.
My previous answer ( to your question 'Why age? ') was meant to be taken as a joke.
@Ranjith, we are quits. You did not understand that my answer to your answer was a joke too. Forgot to make this smiley. :P
AS, time to read many blogging blogs.. They have so many good article about how you want to do it.. Infact some one here in Forum also created one thread about "about us/me" page..
Here it is -> http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=9036
thanks for the useful soil digging!
AS go to about.me . It has a inpage tutorial which will help you out. You can than put this link on your blogs.
thanks Prabhu... I'll check it out
