What’s Your Blog Really About?

Brian at copyblogger asks What’s Your Blog Really About? and gives some good tips for writing an about page.

Most blog’s About pages tend to be about the author, not about the blog. And most of the time, that’s where visitors will click away, never to be seen again, because they were provided with no compelling reason to ever come back.
