Shamus of Twenty-Sided is planning a site update, including tweaking his "About the Author" page, and asks:

What sort of things do you look for when reading about the author of a site? My picture will be there so people will know the basic name / age / gender stuff. But beyond that, what questions do you usually have about the people you read?

My personal preference for an "about me" page is to actually have an "about me" category. You start the category with one post containing all the basic name/age/gender stuff you're willing to share, then use it as a catch-all for any "5 Wacky Things About Me" meme-posts that you do to appease the friends who tag you, and any posts that are essentially nothing more than diary entries about your day, like "Ate lunch at McDonald's today. Yay! Fast food!".

Some folks sincerely enjoy other people's life-trivia. Gather it in one place for them.
