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

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

I hope you didn’t delete them.

It’s that straightforward.

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

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

“Administrativa” like:—

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

For an unpublished short story writer, what magazines or online publications offer the best chance of being recognized?

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

UH-OH…

What are the potential economic consequences of the U.S. following Europe's lead on climate policies, as discussed in the article?

Example:—

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

the blog’s main language

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

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

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

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).

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

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:—

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.

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

Addressing your question more directly:—

your general commenting policy

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.

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx

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 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.
