Blog Post 14: About Page Draft Reviews

How I felt reading about all my cool classmates!

I really like all the different themes people have for their About Me pages! I liked looking at those before the name & thinking “Oh yeah, this is totally so&so’s blog” because their personalities come across through them! In that regard for mine I wonder if I should use a darker pink gif at the top, & see if I can make more of my blog theme black, since I like pink in a hot pink & black kind of way but I think my about page currently gives across white & a pastel/baby type of pink. A silly concern but for a visual element I’d have to see how I could change it! I also found it cute how some people included photos of themselves & would like to see if I could find a good one of me to do the same… since I think its also important for a reader to have an idea of who is talking to them, even if my audience at the moment is nobody who doesn’t already have an idea of me in their mind somewhere. I liked how Vivian’s was like sticky to the top but then dropped down, sometimes when I see my about page when I’m looking for an older post if mine I’m like Ahhh get out of the way I just want to find x post! but that’s a cool way of keeping it at the forefront but not in the way.

I think every about me was longer than mine which, granted mine is still a draft, made me remember I’m not very great at talking about myself. I enjoyed reading all of my peers & every one left me with thoughts like “Wow! They’re so cool” or “Wow! So much passion” or “Wow! It’s so cool to have a class with someone like this!” but I guess I can’t really imagine the same feeling being created when someone reads about me? That makes it sound a little depressing, but what I mean is I think when I talk about myself its brief & like surface-level, since I’m bad at telling what people care about or want to know & what they do not… but either way I think I should add more of Something.  I know I put a gif from my favorite media (Neon Genesis Evangelion) of all time at the bottom, so I can try to think about what draws me to that & pieces similar to it, because I think they cover some similar broad subject matter that might be interesting to hear about from a viewer.
