My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

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

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

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

What is your review of House of the Dragon, season 2, episode 8, "The Queen Who Ever Was"?

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

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

the blog’s main language

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

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

It’s that straightforward.

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 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.

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…

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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 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).

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

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.

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

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 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.
