I love that title. Very clever.

I call that page "Agent Exposed". I’m ok with it. I think it’s always evolving, however.

Hmm, that says I can edit it, but I can’t make it work –

Just wanted to add: this About Page serves several sites, so it’s a stand-alone page, with its own design. Another kind of quirky factor.

When I first began blogging, I did not have an About Page, and my name was not visible anywhere on the site. I was spooked by all the “dangerous internet” stories. Also, I had worked for many years with violent offenders, which tends to make one cautious.

Then a writer whom I had long admired happened on my site, and sent me an admonishing note: Put up a copyright notice! Put on your name! Put up an About Page!

After checking to be sure it was really him, I complied.

This is a quirky About Page, and it continues to evolve:

I love all of the pictures on your “About” page - mine is much more condensed and I haven’t included any family pictures as my wife isn’t too keen on the idea of me plastering their pictures all over.

I read about pages often. I love to see what people come up with to share about their lives and I do love your about page!

I know I will rewrite mine, though not as often as you and I change templates… BTW - I think you have broken my record by a considerable margin, Damien.
