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
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

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.
What are some life hacks for living on your own?
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.

The 3rd placeholder post
iFixit Says Switch 2 Is Probably Still Drift Prone - WIRED
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
the blog’s main language
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Ukraine attacks Russian aircraft in far-reaching drone strikes - The Washington Post
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.
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.

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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
Re-ranking the 16 super regional teams in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament - NCAA.com
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.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Example:—
Derek Jeter Shares Brutal Reality for Yankees After Dodgers Loss - Sports Illustrated
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested

Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?
UH-OH…
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…
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
What are the pros and cons of a prospective bride/groom not having any siblings?
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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).
Addressing your question more directly:—
Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?
I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.
You can expect to pay up to US$7 a word with experienced writers or bloggers (with 10+ years’ experience) — same as magazine writing rates.
Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?
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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
your general commenting policy
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
It’s that straightforward.
Email: xxx
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.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx
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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
