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.

  3. Hi all!
    I just starting my blog recently. I’m trying to find more blogs about books/book reviews to follow and I cannot figure it out. Any suggestions where I can look for those?

    Also, feel free to check out the few posts I have currently up. So far, I am strictly a book review blogger, but who knows if that will change in the future.

    Thanks 🙂

    “Everyone tells you how hard having a newborn is, but it doesn’t sink in until later, when all the hormones have wore off, family and friends have went home, and you are left alone. Not just physically alone, but emotionally and mentally alone. Utterly alone.”

  13. Hello everyone! I’m stumbling in the dark here, but so glad I stumbled across First Friday! I’m brand new to blogging and would love to meet, hear from, and learn from new people. My blog is about my journey of discovery as I find my true self, travel, learn new things, and switch to a whole new career. It’s about finding inspiration, and sparking and amplifying motivation within myself to become truly free -more about this in posts to come 😉 With personal stories and musings, I’m hoping to cultivate a community of women with shared experiences, so please read and comment! I can’t wait to hear from you 🙂

    2. I enjoyed this! I myself am 37 and going to college with the intent to be a high school teacher!!! Lol…I am actually getting my degree in marketing and graphic design but then I was planning on getting certified to teach! It is hard to completely alter your course at this age but if you think about it we are still young! Don’t worry what others think…do what makes you happy!

  16. Hi everyone, I launched my first site “Slow Nature Fast City,” a beginner’s guide to noticing and discovering nature in New York City. Though written with New Yorkers in mind, it might be helpful for anyone who feels nature deprived, no matter where you are. My first post is “Meet Your Closest Tree.” Any feedback is welcome!

    1. 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.
