Website Biographies
 
Hiall,

I'm in the process of updating my websites and am rewriting my biogs, do you think biogs should be 3rd person or not? remember I'm a creative so don't have to be as rigid as a suit.

Feedback appreciated.

Surely you would simply be adding to your biog's, or am I missing something completely here...???

completely revamping it as its quite out of date and dont need to put my entire life story- just what i've been up to recently and my clients.

OK, still none the wiser, but ok...

Hmmm, to be 3rd party, or not to be 3rd party...

Suppose it depends on whether you want all the people who read your blogs/websites to think you have developed schizophrenia....

:sunglasses:don't write it third party, it will seem like you are narrating your life and not in a good way.

not a fan of third party Bio writing. May work for creative types though.

Plenty of it going on at Abu Dhabi Art Exhibition last weekend.

One artist who went by the name of Jemimah Puddleduck or something like that did just that but took it a step further and went on about how she was born conjoined to her twin (only by the ear) and how that influenced her. Her work was bloody ace though.

Just to be different. I vote 3rd party. First person is unprofessional.

Better still, go third person and half way switch to first. That's always a nice touch.

Why not record yourself doing an interpretative dance of the highs and lows of your career so far?
