New blogger? Welcome! Share a link to your first post, say hello to some other new faces, and find your first few readers.

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. Wow! That’s a great first effort. I’m a casual gamer and might mention gaming from time to time within my posts (see On Being a Woman-Child, last paragraph). In fact, I’m writing a retrospective article on gaming to be posted next week called Gamer Granny. You should look out for it. Also, would be interested to know what literature you picked your nose too.

      1. Thank you for the kind words! I will definitely keep an eye out for your posts. Fortunately I’d given up the nose picking by then (pages kept sticking together) but I fell in love with science fiction, mostly Douglas Adams, HG Wells, some Jules Verne, and the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

  4. Hello and good evening from Austria. I enrolled in the blogging fundamentals and published my first post today… in German 😅
    Maybe somebody wants to keep up with their language skills or just find out how many English words are used in every day German. Anyway, you are all very welcome

  5. Hi, I’m Alia over at The Woman-Child Experiment. I’m a writer and just started my blog site less than a month ago. I’m using it as a platform to start promoting my book; but first I’ve been posting short, funny articles (warning: some are crass). Soon, I will start posting excerpts from my book! I actually posted 2 articles on my first day, but the second one was more in depth. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

  13. My name is Quinn Hollows and I am the creator of The Perceptive Teen. Today I posted my first blog post (7/1/16). I would love for anyone to read it and give feedback to improve the content. I am looking for my audience and hope to make this blog successful, as so many have before me.
