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.

  2. Hey y’all! Okay my first post from yesterday “Finding Grace” isn’t letting me highlight or click it to share, and it is also on the top bar next to the “ABOUT” and “HOME” buttons…? Still trying to figure out how to navigate this site! Here’s the one I wrote today:

    Really, God?

  13. Hi guys! just started my blog last week and I’d love to get some feedbacks:)
    I’m fairly new to blogging, I write about poems and mostly about sad thoughts that linger in the back of our minds. I try to bring that to the surface with my posts.

    Here’s my latest one which I posted yesterday: “Otherwise.”

    Otherwise.

    and the two are from last week from when I started, you may check them out here:
    “Maybe, Maybe.”

    Maybe, maybe.

    “Snippet”

    Snippet.

    A follow or a feedback would be really great. Thanks guys! I’d love to interact with you as well 🙂

    1. Welcome! First things first – 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: https://fraterxenonblog.wordpress.com/

      If you need more help with some of the basics of wordpress.com, there’s a great getting-started tutorial at http://learn.wordpress.com!

    1. Your use of imagery made reading this a little more painful than it should be – Earth the planet may be resilient, but the ecology in which we’re able to live and survive is more delicate than people feel. People don’t seem to realize this, and you drove that point home quite well.

  29. Hello there! Here is the link to my first blog post ….. it looks as if it’s all about photography… but if you read on, you will unravel the mystery and find this is not at all the case!
