Sometimes people see you in a more unbiased way than you would see yourself.....all of these testimonials are wonderful and Mig's image of you is magical....... I think you should quote some of these wonderful observations in your "about me".... my about me was compiled by Deborah at Life in the Fast Lane...and I have linked to it......she wrote about me and my artwork much better than I ever could have.... and Saboma says she is a Princess in her profile !!!!! with 27,000 hits....she must have a lot of frogprinces stashed at her castle !!!! thanks for mentioning me in your post Princess Pearl :) :)

I feel your pain, Pearl ;). One thing I've considered is using the about page to post nice things people have said about me in the past, on other blogs, with links back to that blog. Maybe in the sidebar on my about page. And I wouldn't forget the rotten things. I'd totally highlight the guy on Reddit that called me a tool. That still cracks me up. I don't know about it, though. I'm not one for tooting my own horn. Heck, I'm not even one for revealing that my car has a horn installed. I’ve been meaning to update and expand my about page for awhile.

'About' is a difficult way to convey the person behind the words and I think that in your post you have covered it pretty well, and although it is nice to have links to others, personally I would omit them from an 'about' page and would start on your 4th paragraph from 'I’ll let you in on myself a bit'. Just a passing thought :o) Good luck to you on Fame too.
