Best Practices For Effective Design Of “About me” Pages

After looking at my Google Analytics for my website I realized I'm in the "Minimalist" section of "Best Practices For Effective Design Of “About me”-Pages" on Smashing Magazine's website for my about page.
Thanks for the love. :)

I'm trying to figure out if I should redo my website or keep it minimalistic and update it with the same design style. Once I get it completely re-done I will post screenshots of how many different versions I made and why I wasn't satisfied with each design.

How Designers Use Posterous

I just noticed that I'm in an article called "Posterous: Simple Way to Share...everything" by Linda Goin. Here are the screen-captures of some of the article. There a lot of different ways that we can use Posterous, my account is mostly to show my work, interviews, and articles I'm in, etc. I don't usually post any random photos or links to anyone elses work on my Posterous account. That's what I use Twitpic and Twitter for. Overall there are many different ways to use Posterous, do what you feel makes sense to you. :)

I'm also in this article about Twitter Rules To Abide and Question.

Posterous vs. Tumblr: A Head to Head

A friend of mine just called to let me know that I'm in Mashable's article about Posterous vs. Tumblr. I started using Posterous a year ago now. It's the one place where I post my work and nothing else. I enjoy the email features, tagging, autoposting to other networks, Google Analytics, and more. Overall, I give Posterous an A+ for new feature development and for the willingness to listen to the users who give it life. In this article I happened to be the latest post on Jennifer's Posterous subscription page when she took a screen capture of one of my posts. On purpose or not, Pretty cool. :) Thanks.
