I hope you didn’t delete them.

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Facebook: xxx
Example:—
Is it right to visit any shrine or tomb in Islam?
Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx
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 blog’s launch date and time
[photo or artwork of yourself doing something other than work]
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.

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

your general commenting policy
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
Addressing your question more directly:—
Can you write a letter to your first love without mentioning his/her name?
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
the blog’s main language
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.
Kuorans, what are some things unique to your country?
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
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 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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
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.

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

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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.
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.
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…
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
The 3rd placeholder post
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

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).
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
