There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.
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.
It’s that straightforward.

You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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.
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

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).
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Are there any penalties for bestiality in the USA and laws prohibiting it?
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 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 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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
your general commenting policy
The 3rd placeholder post
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.
UH-OH…
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.
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
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.
Addressing your question more directly:—
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
