Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

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

What great song was "ruined" once you really listened to the lyrics?

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

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

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.

Why is my ping so high in 1 Roblox game but not the other ones? I am also not laggy in my own private server. What is happening?

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

“Administrativa” like:—

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).

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

It’s that straightforward.

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.

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

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.

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.

UH-OH…

This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).

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…

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.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
