Interesting topic, and one which I’ve also been pondering in recent days, as my partner suggested that I should update my profile. I did, but not using the specifics that had been suggested. My profile is still vague but I don’t think it sounds so slapped-together. (?)

I compile my own photography and my own writing along with snippets of others’ writing. It’s not often that I’ll expound on a subject.

In a way, I prefer to leave the details of who I am vague, though I take your point on getting to know a blogger via their profile.

I’d prefer to let you decide for yourself what you think of the piece I wrote or the photo I snapped rather than making you tie in a personal detail (‘oh, she’s a mother/married woman/single woman/straight/gay/political/etc.’ so that must be why she xyz…’.

When I come across a blog I tend to read the materials first and then look at the profile later. If the words don’t ring true I won’t even bother looking at the profile. Am I weird that way?
