i think he divided it for fun partly. i think this new about section is a better spot to add galleries and prizes you won. since it's a larger cleaner space than the bio. the bio should be short and easy to read. if there is too much content it will be a mile long. the about page is wider so you can ramble on to your hearts content and add a more in depth thing about your life if you wanted.
I reorganized my bio into something my art profs did at the beginning of every class.
A brief bit on my education, and then questions for my audience with an invitation to contact me.
With the AW I discuss my history leading up to my working as an artist. The process of conceptualizing
this work. And then my links. Along with a request to join my email list for promotions.
I see how this can be much more effective with the few possible viewers I have each day.
I wrote my sister an email asking her to edit my bio and about pages. She is very talented and the job is small for her.
