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…

Is it possible for the AfD to ever win the chancellorship in Germany?
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.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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 does the Bible say about the Antichrist? How will we know when he arrives on the scene?
“Administrativa” like:—
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
Can you name a female actress who has had bad timing or luck in her film career?
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
The 3rd placeholder post
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.

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.
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.
What are some ways to cope with paranoid thoughts about being gangstalked or targeted individuals?
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Example:—
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Why is our generation so unhappy?
UH-OH…
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
Does the Hamas charter specifically call for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel?
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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).
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
It’s that straightforward.
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.
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.

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 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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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.
