I want to know what I potentially might have in common with someone before investing myself too much. The about page is the second thing I go for - sometimes the first.

People needs idols, because they want to do things as they do but they don't know how. Then they read the about. :) When I read or see nice things, I want to see some more about him/her.

Like Maria, I tend to find out more about the blogger by their writing. I really do think I am in the minority when it comes to reading an about page.

I know this because people always email me silly comments about my 100 Things list ( which is only linked from my about page) I removed my picture from my about page... but it was due to some wierdo who was practically stalking me. I suppose it depends on the blog. A lot of people read my about page. I know this because people always email me silly comments about my 100 Things list ( which is only linked from my about page)

If a blog has an about page I will probably read it, but it won't be one of my top priorities. Besides I believe I can find out more about the blogger from his posts than his bio. And I don't think a photo is necessary. I read the article a week ago and I had the same reservations, not to mention that I felt as if it was targeting more “professional” blogs.

I'll admit, they are hard to write though -- it's tough to describe yourself/your life and make it sound interesting. I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary, but I always like to read them.
