If I’m pressed for time, I’ll often make a quick decision based upon what I see there as to whether I wish to delve further. They are also a place where I will go if I want to ask a blogger a question that isn’t related to any of their posts.

  3. I think it is a real shame when you click on an “About” page only to read, “this is an example of a WordPress page …”. The rest of the blog may be great (and often is), however the “About” page provides the first impression and if that is a bad one, the visitor may not check out the other posts. Kevin
