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).
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

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.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.
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.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Why am I not getting any atheists to debate with? Are they scared?
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

UH-OH…
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

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

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

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

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Addressing your question more directly:—
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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.
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 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.

the blog’s main language
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

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

It’s that straightforward.
