Creating an About Page in Roame

Create a Roame About page at /p/about.html and use the theme’s ready-made page classes for the portrait, story columns and action links.

Roame applies its dedicated About-page styling when the page uses the normal Blogger URL /p/about.html. Create the page with the title About.

Starter About layout

The XML contains the styles for this page but not your personal About copy, so the following is a compatible starter template built from Roame’s supplied page classes.

<!--
ROAME ABOUT PAGE
----------------
Create a Blogger Page titled "About", switch to HTML view, and paste this block.
Replace the image URL and sample text with your own.
-->

  <p class="mv-page-lead">A short introduction to your travel journal and the kind of stories readers will find here.</p>

Connect the homepage

In Homepage About the Author, point the Image widget link to /p/about.html. Roame can also use a real image from this page when the homepage About widget does not have a usable image.
