One of the most underrated and neglected pages in a blog or a website is the 'about us' page. There is so much that you can do with this space: you can tell your story to the world, share your experiences, your expertise, your ideas, your social networking profiles, post a fun and/or tutorial video, show off your best work, share jokes, post your favorite quotes and just about anything that you think a stranger ought to know about you and your work.
It is that one page that is viewed by anybody and everybody that lands up on your website; it could be a client, a potential customer, a business associate, potential employee, your competition, a blogger, your ex, your mom or a clueless visitor who somehow happened to stumble on your site. A place where you introduce your self and hope for a lasting first impression.
As a blogger, I visit endless sites and blogs in a day, and apart from the homepage, the first thing that I check is the 'about us' page, and it irks me when I see that the owner of the site couldn't bother to spend some time to create a presentable about us/me page. On the other hand, there are sites and individuals that straight away grab my attention and appreciation simply through their style of introducing themselves, here are some of my favorite (killer) 'about us' pages that I've come across.
