There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
You can expect to pay up to US$7 a word with experienced writers or bloggers (with 10+ years’ experience) — same as magazine writing rates.
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Why is the world male-dominated?
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

Addressing your question more directly:—
John “Ramenista” Smith
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…
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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
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 3rd placeholder post
UH-OH…
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 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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
It’s that straightforward.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
the blog’s launch date and time
the blog’s main language
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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 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.
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.
