Did you just click publish for the first time? Congrats, and welcome! Share your handiwork with us.
If you’ve already started blogging and are looking for support or feedback, the Community Pool is the place for you!
Have a technical question? Try the WordPress.com Support Forums.
If a blogger publishes her first post and no one reads it, did it really happen? Of course it did! But when someone does read it, even better. Welcome to First Friday, a weekly open thread where any new blogger can share a link to his or her very first post with the larger WordPress.com community.
To share your first post with us, copy and paste the link right into a comment here; feel free to introduce yourself, and tell us what you hope to blog about. If you’re not new, you can still be a part of First Fridays: visit a link or two, and leave the blogger a like or comment. The first recognition a blogger gets is powerful, and you can provide that for someone brand-new!
Need help finding, copying, and pasting your link?
Head to your blog’s home page.
Click on the title of your post to open the individual post page.
Highlight and copy the URL you see in your browser’s address bar. You can copy by going to the Edit menu in your browser and selecting Copy, or with a keyboard shortcut (Control+C for a PC, Command+C on a Mac).
Paste the URL into a comment here. You can paste by going to the Edit menu in your browser and selecting Paste, or with a keyboard shortcut (Control+V for a PC, Command+V on a Mac).
That’s it!
You can make this a useful space for new bloggers with a few simple guidelines:
- We encourage anyone who shares a link to visit one or two other bloggers here. New readers for all!
- In commenting, the third time is not the charm: don’t share the same link repeatedly.
- Please don’t use this as a space to share your first post…. that you published three years ago. Post should have been published within the last month. We’ll remove older posts to keep this space focused for new bloggers.
- Keep comments civil. Even better: visit a blogger and leave your comment directly on their blog!
- To keep from losing your place while you visit others’ blogs, right-click on a link to open it in a new tab or window.
- If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

I’ve had a look at some of your reviews and previews, and I quite like your writing style. But I think it would be nice if your pieces were longer and analysed the films a little more closely, especially for the reviews, because it makes good reading when someone picks something apart and scrutinises or praises it as best they can, offering their opinion as well as explaining the overall gist of the film. Nonetheless, I think your stuff’s all right, keep going 😉

Hello mommyusage
I think your blog is off to a great start =) I read through your first post and I really loved it.
This may be quite new to you, so you’ll have to ask yourself who your blog audience will be and tailor your posts to them. Like for recipes, your audience could be parents or moms etc. A veteran blogger told me that people want to read your posts from the value you can offer them. Whether it’s a good recipe, advice on caring for children, your experience as a single independent mother and more.. that’s the kind of reading people would want to read.
Then, see how you can make your blog user friendly while retaining your style or personality.
Most important, always ask for feedback and advice.
I remember this blog a while back. It’s about a mother blogging about her family life and doing amazing now. Perhaps that can be you some day =)

The key is to read and learn how to be a good blogger by creating excellent content that will pay for itself, promote your blog (if people don’t know your blog exists, they can’t read your posts, no matter how excellent they are) and more.
You can try r/blogging at Reddit too for advice. See the top posts there. Brilliant and amazing advice for new and veteran bloggers =)

Nice post stars there. Keep up with your originality and it will help if you use the appropriate tags for your posts. Like this comment would be #opinions #thoughts
Just look at the options on the posts for tags and using the category really helps yourself and others look through your past posts. (Check out my blog if you’d like for ideas).
