About Me - Bio section
Is there a way to add a bio section to the blog on the sidebar. I have been looking and am not sure how to do this. I figure there is a plug-in to install...but am not seeing anything that is quite what I am looking for. I just want to add a short bio to my blog and a picture under it. when people click on "About Me"...it would take them to a page that has this information. Thanks for any help that you can give!

There are a few templates that have this functionality built into them... unfortunately, I cannot recall any specific template names.
In general terms, you could install a HTML nugget (add new sidebar plugin) and place whatever content in it you want. If that was a brief snippet of info, and you wanted an additional detailed page, you would install the static page plugin and create a static page with more detailed info. Your html nugget would then contain your link of "about me" which you would then point to your newly created static page.

I have installed the serendipity_plugin_imagesidebar plugin. It lets you display a picture in the sidebar along with some additional text. You can see it in my blog on the top right under the topic "Autor der Seite". From there I link to a static page (you will need the static pages plugin) where visitors can gain more information about me. It is quite similar to Don's suggestions. Maybe that will help you.
