Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
