This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
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.

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
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.
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
Why do people stay in cults after they have joined?
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.

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.

What can I say to a scammer who thinks he loves me, but I don't want to be scammed?
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.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.
