The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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).
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
