My current front page is...forgettable.

To fix that, I started by looking at the front page of my favorite bloggers.

What are they showcasing?

Here's some things I loved about the sites I looked at:
@stephsmithio's page has a unique, memorable design. Her projects are front and center, reinforcing the 'indie hacker' persona.

Neat trick: highlighting makes it easier to quickly scan her bio.

@m_ashcroft's page immediately lets you know who Michael is and what he's curious about.

Fantastic line: "My website is how I let the others find me."

@sivers starts his page with two versions of his bio:

Me in 10 seconds
Me in 10 minutes

A very minimal site, zero fluff. It suits Derek so well!

@visakanv hits you in the face with his mission, then backs it up.

Every section aligns with his mission, showing you why he's good at building social graphs and how he's working to build a larger one. A casual photo reinforces the friendly vibe.

@aaronzlewis is an amazing designer and it shows because his front page is beautiful! A must see.

Super clever: a selector with 4 different bios for 4 different audiences
