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

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.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
the blog’s main language
Who you are — you don’t have to disclose your identity, but there must be a person even with a pseudonym (not anonymous) for attracting readers and subscribers
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

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 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.
UH-OH…
It’s that straightforward.

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).
Example:—
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
The 3rd placeholder post
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.
“Administrativa” like:—
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.
Addressing your question more directly:—
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…
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
