If you'd care to share a bit about what you did on your own 'About' page please reply to this post! __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

Now I have to be convincing as well...*sigh*. I too am in the midst of writing my 'about' page - actually revamping the whole website content. Such fun. Off to the drawing board I go to create compelling content... __________________ Tammy Bryce www.virtualhorizons.ca

I've been using Microsoft Office Live, but am now creating my own...will take me awhile LOL. At the moment my About page was written by me but edited by my daughter. It's very hard to write about yourself... __________________ Deb Frawley Gem's Virtual Office

I found it is very difficult to write about one's self so I let the person who know me best do it for me. Is this cheating? Our writing styles are different because he comes from a legal background & I come from years of upper management arguing with each other over the correct way to do things (lol!)
