Hi Derek,
I have a bad habit of proof reading everything I read and I see something on your site that needs to be updated. Consider changing ‘went’ to ‘gone’ in the below sentence.

“I’ve even went so far as to having one after section 2, after section 3, and as the closer, which means there are 3 email sign-up forms on my about page.”

Call me the grammar police. Love your info. Thanks!!

Many good points–Adding the email signup forms is really the easy part of the whole first draft. After looking at many of the “commenter’s” sites I see it’s also a big element that is left out.

My about page looks a lot fuller now that I’ve taken your advice! Thanks Derek! Keep up the good work!!!

Just realised we don’t even have an about page! Got an ‘about’ tab with dropdowns but no page. Thanks Derek!

Derek,

Wanted to let you know I’ve implemented asking people to join my FB page in key locations on new blog posts. It’s been a great success so far. I’ve also reconfigured my blog post to fit your template and it flows a lot better. Thanks for all the great info.

Thanks Derek! Just made these changes and I believe it will make a difference.
I’m kind of wondering how to best SEO this page as About doesn’t say much. :/

My new about page: http://www.midlifelivingwell.com

Well done Derek. You got me to look at my own site, instead of my usual focus on client sites.
So, I went and changed the lead sentence, added a testimonial and checked things over against your suggestions.
It’s open season for anyone that has further suggestions. I would love to hear them. Here is my about page – http://blogwranglers.com/about

Derek, enough already with the one sentence paragraphs! They’re really a PITA to read…
