Biography Page: Tell About You

By , About.com Guide

Biographies are probably one of the oldest forms of writing. People would write about important people or about themselves so other people could read it and learn about them. Biographies are important because they tell the history of the person being written about.

The person who has just clicked through to your biography page has done so to find out about you. Don't disappoint them. Tell them who you are, where you're from, what you like and dislike and anything else you can think of.

When you layout the information for this page you can do in a couple different ways. You can just create a list of stats, you can create a short story, or both. A list of stats will look something like this:
