# 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)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.mattermost.com/operations/messaging-and-math/checklists-for-m-and-m/bio-checklist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
