I can’t tell you how many times I’ve updated my About and Links pages in the past year. In my head. I thought about it a lot. But when it came down to the dirty business of actually getting it done, it never happened.
It wasn’t so much that I was procrastinating. Well, maybe a little. Mostly, though, it was whenever I had time to work on my blog, it needed to be a post I wanted to get up or pictures I needed to edit.
Who has time to work on a back page? Nobody cares about those pages, anyway. Then one day I happened to click on my About page, and much to my horror realized it said I was the mom of one child, a two-year-old. Said tw0-year-old is almost four now, not to mention the second child who came along since I wrote that.
I continued on to look at my Links page to see so many of my favorite blogs painfully missing and others that I rarely read anymore because their authors stopped posting regularly.
These updates were long overdue. Check them out if you have a minute (or more than a minute if you plan on perusing through my Links page). I tried really hard to include all the blogs I love to read, but I’m sure I forgot one (or two or three). If you think I mistakenly left yours off the list, please shoot me an email and I’ll put it up.
And now for the fun part of the post: a winner!

Happy canning, Amy! I have emailed you to get your shipping information, so check your inbox!
Aw – thanks for adding me! I recently updated my links page, but should probably check on my about page…
Just a bit of perspective from a reader (well, THIS reader at least)…I do read “back-end” pages because I like knowing each blogger’s “story” as well as what other blogs they’re into. I have found some of my favorite blogs this way…probably found this one that way too! So my advice is to keep those updated as often as you can. 🙂
Thanks, Laura. It’s good to know that it’s worth putting the time in. 🙂
thats me! i don’t have time to work on my recipe page or about page. then i looked and was in shock!! eek!
I know what you mean about back pages .. it seems no one looks at them 🙂 I think it looks great!
That’s ME! I can’t believe I won something- so excited!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t received an email though, just FYI- I checked my spam folder too!
Yay Amy!
Thanks for putting my on your links list! Mine is painfully out of date too!
Im so bad about updating my ‘back end’ pages too! I’m pretty sure my about probably says I’m still pregnant :/
