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).
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
What is the worst emotional pain you ever felt as an adult?
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.

It’s that straightforward.

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.
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.
your general commenting policy
Is it true that schizophrenia can sometimes be a demonic attack or black magic?
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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)
RFK Jr. looks to fast track rare disease drug approvals (updated) - Seeking Alpha
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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…

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
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.
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.
