This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
Addressing your question more directly:—
What is your age now, and what age do you prefer to stay at forever?
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
The 3rd placeholder post
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.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.
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.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

the blog’s launch date and time
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 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.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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…

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 blog’s main language
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
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
