The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
Comments close on all posts after 28 days. Comments should be in English as far as possible, although all languages are welcomed. Comments once posted cannot be retracted or removed, so please comment at your own risk.
Example:—
More studies show diet and nutrition are important in fighting cancer - WTOP
The biggest mistake any blogger could make is producing a blog that has no voice — no persona, no personality, no flavour and no perspective behind the words.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
Is it normal to hate my dog, but feel too guilty to get rid of him?

Addressing your question more directly:—
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
If Jesus was crucified by Governor Pontius Pilate, why does the Quran deny his death?
The 3rd placeholder post
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
“Administrativa” like:—
Once you’ve done the above, copy and paste the above into a new static page (“About”), edit it here and there, and publish. Add a link into your blog menu for the About.

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
I welcome submissions of recipes, stories and photos. Please discuss with me. I am prepared to pay US$1 per word for unique, eye-catching pieces.
It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Broadcom’s AI Bonanza Has Limits - WSJ
If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.
Never mind what the Internet is telling you. The starting rate is US$1 per word for a 300–500-word piece (with minimum 3 photos) that’s unique and exclusive to your blog — with a 30%–50% kill rate for submitted but cancelled acceptance.

If you’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
I hope you didn’t delete them.

I am the author and owner of Ramen Freak. I work in Windows and Linux mobile computing for a boring, colorless, publicly listed corporation in East Coast USA. I live with Janet (my wife since 1985) and two whimsical cats the size of battle tanks in the lush concrete suburbs of Anytown, Anystate. My wife isn’t ‘big’ on noodles though. Oh well…
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
What are the bitter truths of life one should know?
John “Ramenista” Smith
The Ramen Freak is about all things ramen and noodles, Japanese or not. It focuses on traditional as well as “new wave” or “fusion” recipes and discusses protips for creating the “perfect” noodle dish for the noodle aficionado.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
Who you are — you don’t have to disclose your identity, but there must be a person even with a pseudonym (not anonymous) for attracting readers and subscribers
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
It’s that straightforward.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
the blog’s launch date and time
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect for a blog. It only needs to be reasonably readable — and reasonably formatted (which you still have to do anyway even for a piece written by someone else).
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

the blog’s main language
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
The first placeholder post is typically headlined “Hello, world!” with no content. Leave it alone. This is your blog’s birth certificate. It helps the search engines to ‘notice’ the launch of your blog.
