It’s that straightforward.

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

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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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…
Example:—
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
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.

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.

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

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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?”
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.
your general commenting policy
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.
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).
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
