I created a Blog Landing Page template for everyone to use until the real blog pages are completed.
This template will give your readers a Blog Landing Page that only displays the posts you want to show up in your blog.
It gives you a place for a picture and a bio if you want, and will also let you do some branding and link to any other information you would like to show people when they first find you and see your blog.
I would also suggest a new topic tag #steemit-blogs, so people can find a list of Blog Directory pages with a simple search.
Since the markdown code will not display in this post, you must view it here for it to make sense: http://pastebin.com/18qGR0JL
Instructions on how to copy the template text into your new post are included at the bottom of the page.
