The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

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

Why do I sweat so much after applying moisture or sun screen on my face? I have normal skin.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

UH-OH…

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

What are some common examples of human hypocrisy?

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.

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 I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?

The 3rd placeholder post

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

Why do I keep dreaming of my mom, who recently passed away from cancer, still being sick and in pain?

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

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.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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.

It’s that straightforward.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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 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 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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

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

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…
