# Bio checklist

Below is a checklist for Wordpress bios which appear for published posts in <https://mattermost.com/blog>.

* Each author should have a brief bio so that readers can learn more about them
* The bio should be concise and include:
  * Name and current position at Mattermost or other company if it’s a guest post (1 line)
  * Some previous work experience, if applicable (1 or 2 lines)
  * Additional information as desired (e.g., where they went to college, where they live, hobbies, other noteworthy skills/experiences) (1 or 2 lines)
* Authors should also pick a headshot for their bio (author can submit a picture; otherwise Mattermost will take from LinkedIn/public source)
