If you take a look at all the big bloggers, and ask yourself what they all have in common?  Yes, an about me page, right?

A about me page has become a popular page amongst us bloggers. A about me page lets the readers know, who you are? Where are you from? Why you have started your blog? What is your blog about? and most important, What future intentions you have for your blog. Readers want to know who´s blog they are reading. Besides looking for useful information most readers come to blogs for a few reasons, they want to build a relationship with you, they want to be able to communicate with you and they want to be part of a community.

A about me page is quite handy for bloggers, because that is the only page on your whole blog, where you will be able to express yourself. You´ve got the opportunity to connect with your readers and let them know what you are all about. A about me page is all about trust, readers will mostly likely gain trust after reading the about me page.

You don´t have to get to personal on your about me page, but it will be nice to put down some interesting information about yourself.

When I read new blogs one of the first things I do is go and visit the blog just to see who´s blog i’m reading. Mostly if I am within the same age group as the blogger i like to read some posts he´s written because I would like to see how other bloggers within my age group write and what opinions they have compared to mine. We bloggers can learn of each other.

Contact forms are also very important for blogs. Readers get the chance to interact with you and communicate with you.

Imagine this situation:

You´ve just discovered a fantastic blog and absolutely love everything about that blog. So you thought of sending the blogger a email with a few questions and tell him about how much you like the blog, so there you are looking for his contact page, after looking around you realize he doesn’t have a contact page and there is no other way to contact him. Wouldn’t that just make you mad? It sure would get me annoyed.

The good thing is that adding a contact me page for wordpress is as easy as 1+1. So head over at http://http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin/and download that plugin if you´re using wordpress.

If you haven´t got these 2 must have pages, go add them right now.
