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.

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).
How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
The 3rd placeholder post
Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?
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.

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
Why is the covert narcissist actively avoiding me when they see me everyday?
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.
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
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 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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
It’s that straightforward.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
Addressing your question more directly:—
your general commenting policy
I hope you didn’t delete them.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Example:—
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.
the blog’s main language
