Comment(by jane):

 Proposed new About text:

 This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will
 stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most
 themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to
 potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

 Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this
 is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like
 piano coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.)

 …or something like this:

 The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing
 quality doohickies to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ
 employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the
 Gotham community.

 As a new WordPress user, you should go to <a href=" page list ">your
 dashboard</a> to delete this page and create new pages for your content.
 Have fun!

 Also, let's change the slug from about to example-about-page. That will
 get rid of the about-2 once and for all, and will make it even more clear
 that users should delete the page.
