>> WHAT DO YOU EVEN PUT IN A FIRST POST? <<

Things people commonly put there include but are not limited to:

* A general idea where they live.

* Where else to find them online.

* What kinds of things they like and/or blog about.

* Their expectations or hopes for audience interaction. Some people have a separate post for their friending parameters, civility standards, blanket statement, etc. but if those are short they may just get rolled together.
