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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

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.

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

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…

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
