This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

Trump leans on GOP senators as they gear up to make changes to his domestic policy bill - CNN

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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).

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.

If women aren't shallow, why do most tall, good-looking men have girlfriends?

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 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.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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

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.

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

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)

UH-OH…

What is it like to use a Fleshlight?

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

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.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

My Tried and True Trick to Combine Multiple PDFs Free on Windows and Mac - CNET

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

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

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

the blog’s launch date and time

It’s that straightforward.

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

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.

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

“Administrativa” like:—

How do people develop stage 4 cancer without noticing until it’s too late?

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.

the blog’s main language

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

What's your take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? How has it affected you?

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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
