First Friday

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, or repeated comments that simply ask people to visit you. (Tip: if you’re trying to build a readership, it’s much more effective to leave substantive replies, or 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. 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. Here’s your site: http://lollysworldsite.wordpress.com/

    2. You have “Travels” set as your blog page — to change that, open your Customizer (My Site > Customize), go to the “Static Front Page” tab, and choose “Life” as your blog page.

    1. I really enjoyed reading your blog!

      So, one thing to look into – although you have about pages and whatnot, when I went to the home page it showed generic phrases around the links to your other pages.

I am hoping to make my blog a place to advertise my book, a space to share my poetry as well as a place for resources and stories about this adventure some call life. I hope this blog and my first post will reach some of you and let you know you are not alone. Enjoy!

    1. Great first post!

      Just a quick recommendation, sometimes really long posts get a bit tedious to read. You can always split up your thoughts into shorter more consumable posts and create more of a series.

  20. I’ve been considering blogging for a while… definitely as a means of combining all the things I think about and like to research, but also to try to reach and teach people. I started it off with kind of a “fun” post but plan to delve into serious topics. My goal is to really expose? some of the common myths and pseudoscience that are floating around these days.

    1. Love the idea! The text in your header banner is a bit low resolution, which is the first impression one may get when visiting! Would recommend using a higher-resolution banner. 🙂

      1. I apologize for my autocorrect. It has a mind of its own sometimes. There are supposed to be two b’s in ‘amber’.

      3. The second link I posted has two b’s in ‘amber’. It must have been changed by my autocorrect when I posted the first time.

  30. After having a weave on for a long time, I decided to try something totally new to me, Ghana weaving! Lol yes in all my life I haven’t tried it because I felt I wasn’t bold or pretty enough to rock it. So feeling in a funky mood I decided to go for Ghana weaving, […]
