New blogger? Welcome! Share a link to your first post, say hello to some other new faces, and find your first few readers.
For other help:
If you’re not new and are looking for support or feedback, the Community Pool is the place for you!For technical questions, visit the WordPress.com Support Forums.
To learn more about blogging, take a Blogging U. course.
To find, copy, and paste your link:
Head to your blog’s home page — not your dashboard, your blog itself. Click on the title of your post to open the individual post.Highlight and copy the URL you see in your browser’s address bar, and paste the entire URL into a comment here.
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. 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.
Please don’t use this as a space to share your first post…. that you published three years ago; ditto for simply sharing your latest post. Posts should have been published within the last month, and should be your first post. We’ll remove other posts to keep this space focused for new bloggers.
We ask that you help us keep this space focused by following a few additional guidelines:
- We encourage anyone who shares a link to visit a few other bloggers. New readers for all!
- When commenting, the third time is not the charm: don’t share the same link repeatedly, or in multiple First Friday threads. We’ll remove repeat posts.
- Link directly to your new post, rather than to your blog generally — it makes it that much easier for folks to like the post or leave you comments.
- Avoid repeated “Follow for a follow!” comments. (Tip: if you’re trying to build a readership, it’s much more effective to visit and comment on individual bloggers.)
- To keep from losing your place while you visit others’ blogs, right-click on links to open them in a new tab or window.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

Hey friends!

I’m trying out the ‘Static Page’ function as a new blogger welcoming others to my page. I guess that can only last until I put up a new post though. I need to keep posting regularly too. Any tips on blog prompts or styles/mediums and my blog in general?
All feedback is warmly welcomed 🙂

FYI: that link goes to your dashboard, which is private, so people won’t be able to see your site. The simplest way to get the public link is to go to your blog’s main page and click on the post title. Then, copy the address you see in your browser’s address bar and use that.

Hello,
had some new posts up..and wanted feedback, as I have been unable to get into a regular routine of self blogging or reading others frequently. I know I should. New to blogging..so mind is blank sometimes and then on overdrive at others. Help! I think I am just writing to find me. Blogging is just the excuse to be able to do so. But the process is muddled.
But here are my recent posts/ -https://ksn2016.wordpress.com/about/tread-softly and https://ksn2016.wordpress.com/2016/05/24/the-business-of-thoughts/.
ANY feedback/views would be loved. Thank you!

Hi! Congrats on starting your new blog. I started mine this week as well. I love what you have to say so far, and look forward to reading more (I followed you!). Since I’m new myself, I don’t have a ton of advice, but here’s what I’m planning on doing in the next few weeks:
-Re: writing new content, maybe just write when inspiration strikes, and schedule your content to post throughout the week?
-Re: reading others’, perhaps try to set aside a specific time each day to do this. My goal is to read and connect with others 30 minutes each morning before work.
Hope this helps!

Great start, the only suggestion I’d make is add a/some photos. I’ve found that there are loads of interesting ones you can freely use on Foter.com, you just need to give the author credit. Something illustrating a small town for instance.

Hi all, here’s my first post on WordPress.com in response to the daily prompt.
I’ve been writing for an outdoors website for a few years and decided to try the challenges out in order to prevent my writing and photography becoming stale.
I’d become a little fed with my writing recently, but I think that following the prompts will help me.
