Changing the blog description

By default Micro.blog includes the text “Follow [username] on Micro.blog” in the blog description. This is used in some themes, such as in the sidebar or footer.

To override it, create or edit the config.json file for your blog:

  1. Click on Design.
  2. Click on Edit Theme.
  3. Edit config.json if it exists, otherwise click New Template to create it.
  4. Paste in something like this in the file:
{
  "params": {
    "description": "My blog description here."
  }
}

There’s a new plug-in called simply “About me” that does this automatically now. Click install and no need to mess with any config files.
