Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.

Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

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.

What is your age now, and what age do you prefer to stay at forever?
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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
I hope you didn’t delete them.
How do you get people to follow your Quora Space?
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.
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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.
Open them and fill 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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Example:—
Why do foolish atheists think their strange delusional theories are facts?
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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).
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
Why do some men love sucking cocks?
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).

What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?
It’s that straightforward.
UH-OH…

How did Kate Mulgrew feel about Jeri Ryan joining the cast of Star Trek: Voyager?
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.

What should I do to get over a relationship?
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
the blog’s launch date and time
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…
Addressing your question more directly:—
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.
your general commenting policy
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.
