Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
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.

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.
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.
It’s that straightforward.
Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?
Example:—
your general commenting policy
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?
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.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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.
Why is there so much hate against black people?
the blog’s launch date and time
“Administrativa” like:—
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 wise to SECRETLY expose a narcissist by telling others that he/she is a covert narcissist?
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
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

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.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
