The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
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.

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
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).

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 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 3rd placeholder post
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.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Example:—
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
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.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

the blog’s main language
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.

the blog’s launch date and time
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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…
