  Great inspiration on how to write really quippy and interesting About information but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get past the word ‘About’. How do I actually get word data to show up properly when someone clicks on ‘About’?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello

  It looks like you have two different About pages set up on your site. One has the link /About/ and one has the link /About-2/.

  Here’s what I would suggest you do:

  1. Delete the extra About page and empty the trash. You can find directions for that at https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

  2. Edit the existing about page and add your content. You can find out how to edit a page at https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#edit-a-page

  3. You may have to double check that the About page is still in your menu (since you deleted one copy). Here’s a link that talks about building menus: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or get stuck.

  Thanks I’ll give it a try. My problem has been figuring out how to get “stuff” (my info) to appear under the”About”. I’m sure there is a simple solution once I figure it out. Appreciate your response.

  When you add the content to the about page (#2) above and publish the page, you’ll see that content when someone clicks on about in your menu. Right now you have the page set up, but the content is not there.
