About me page is the stand alone page on your blog that tells your readers about you and your blog. There are so many studies in the content marketing that shows about me page of any blog is one of the most visited pages.
People love to read the about me page. It is the sole window to the person behind the blog. Personally, I love to read about me page of any new blog I visit. It gives me an impression of the person behind the blog I am going to subscribe.
