What is a blurb?

The writing on the back of the book is a blurb, and tells you a bit about the book. It's similar on here, and on your blurb you should write something about you. Aug 01 03, 4:40 PM

A 'blurb' is a piece of information about yourself. When other users click on your alias, your blurb becomes visible to them. Writing an alias is simple; just click on 'edit blurb' and say something interesting about yourself! Aug 01 03, 4:41 PM

And, of course, the word "blurb" was coined by the American humorist Gelett Burgess (1866-1951). He is otherwise best known for writing the poem "Purple Cow". Aug 02 03, 2:23 PM
