An About page is where readers find out more about you and your blog. Readers often use it to decide whether to bother subscribing to a blog.
When you set up a new Edublogs blog it automatically comes set up with an ‘About page’. Readers access this page by clicking on About in the page links at the top of your theme or in the link in your sidebar.
The idea is you change the default text on this about page by inserting your own information.

Writing your About Page
Your about page is all about letting people know who are you, what’s your interests and what you write about.
Start with telling people more about yourself as people are more likely to engage with your blog if they can relate to you as an individual. Then tell them about your blog and the reasons why you blog.
Not too long and not too short – include photos that help readers relate to you as a person.
What’s included on an About Page does vary depending on the type of blog and its intended audience.
- Here’s my ‘About page’ on my personal blog.
- Here’s the ‘About page’ on The Edublogger
- Here’s tips for writing About pages for Student and Class blogs.
Editing your default ‘About page’ is a simple as:
1. Click Pages > All Pages in the navigation menu in your dashboard
2. Find the page About and click the action link Edit.
3. Now it is just a case of replacing the default text on the about page with your own text, images etc.
4. Click the Update Page button.
