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.

    1. Congratulations! I admire that you started blogging young. I just started blogging too, at 40 something :-). But I have been journaling for a number of years. Keep it up.

      1. Thank you so much! I find so much comfort in your words, they are so sweet! I have people I can trust, I just feel like people have enough problems of their own :p I’ve always been that way, this is another reason why I started a blog. 🙂 this gives me a peace of mind and I get to clear my head. Thank you and good luck to you too!

    1. Hi! You’re more than welcome to share your site, but please don’t reply to each comment here with the same link, or leave multiple comments pointing to the same link — it’s considering spammy, and those comments will be removed. It’s much better, and more effective, to leave substantive comments!

    1. Hi there! We’re glad your’e so excited about your blog, but please don’t re-share the same link repeatedly, or on unrelated posts like photo challenges — that’s considered spammy, and all those links will be removed.

  18. I’ve been blogging for almost a month now, and just love it. My blog is meant to bring together a community that will share inspiration with each other. It has evolved quite a bit through the weeks, so don’t judge me by my first blog 🙂 I hope you enjoy, and join the fellowship!!!

    1. Welcome! 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.

    1. Hey Katching Kat! I really like your website and reading about your interests. I too am bit of a dreamer, and I’m kind of adventurous too. I also want to make my mark on the world! I can’t wait to read more from you!

    2. By the way the link you sent in your comment takes people to see their webpage statistics. I found your website by clicking on your name. If you will go to your website, and click the link in your browser and copy it, then you can paste it in a new comment, and that will take people to your website.
