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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
“Administrativa” like:—
Google Maps updated with new bottom corner logo - 9to5Google
It’s that straightforward.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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.
How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?
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.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

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.
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.

What is one thing you've learned from life?
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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 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 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…
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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 blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
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).
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.
