For a portfolio, or any website that I would create for this class, information concerning me is going to be my main subject. Therefore, this A List Apart reading is very helpful.
Things to remember when creating an About page:
-provide visitors with essential facts they need to interact with you
-give visitors context for information they find elsewhere on the site
-differentiate you (or your organization)from others like it
-give visitors a reason (several) to come back to the site or complete the task you wish
Robots to look out for:
-Dum-bots: bland, pitching the sterile information and little else
-Sales-o-matic: littering the page with "subjective superlatives and self-congratulatory descriptions", delays the visitor from receiving information
-Law-bot: "overwhelming the reader with information that's irrelevant or unimportant to the vast majority of visitors"
