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

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Beef cattle disease found in southeast Iowa herd, first time seen in state - weareiowa.com
It’s that straightforward.
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…
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.

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
The 3rd placeholder post
UH-OH…

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?
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 blog’s main language
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.
Example:—
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 need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
“Administrativa” like:—
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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 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.

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.
