Mentioning stuff like there being wallpapers, or icons, basically letting people know that there are goodies to be found which they can use. For the style if it's a monomyth, if it focuses on a relationship, if it centers around a character in terms of figuring out who they are and why they do what they do, or if it focuses more on the narrative side, the things that happened in the story and the reasons why. It's hard to explain, but some shrines have a perspective of how the character affected the plot, while others are more about how the plot affected the character, etc. Of course both perspectives are important and you can have both in the same shrine.

When I used to have blurbs, what I'd write would be more of the type of one intriguing phrase - sorta poetry-like - to introduce the subject in the light in which I wrote it. A mysterious teaser of sort.

I really, really like reading the descriptions that people have on their networks for their sites/projects (if they have some) which is why I am trying to include these on sutarodo. It's interesting to see other people's responses to what they like to see and what they do!

I really like seeing a description of the site such as why it was made and what it's about. Is it an in-depth analysis of a specific feature of a game/character/etc., or is it full of personal ramblings? I also like ones like dubiousdisc mentioned too where they have a more cryptic description because those can be super unique and definitely intriguing.

I'm still trying to work through what exactly I want mine to be, but so far I've written pretty much what the site is about and/or why I decided to make it and what visitors can expect in the shrine's content. I also include the name of the shrine, character and series/game that character is from and a last updated date (if you have an archived site, you could just write Last Updated: Archived if you include an update date).
