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

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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

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 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.

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