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. (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.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

You hope to meet more people soon? Posting in First Fridays and Community Pools are a very good start. I guess for now, you can dive into the Customizer just so that you can get to know your theme and how it works, even change (or get rid of, your call) the text Widgets that come with your theme. A quick suggestion, though: dark red font (esp. with small sizes/non-bold style) doesn’t show up well on a black background. Perhaps a brighter shade of red, if you can?

Your idea of simplicity permeates throughout your entire blog, even in your blog’s design. It’s well put-together, must be said.
Of course, now that you’ve been around for more than a month, you should know even though you probably can’t post here anymore, you can still reply to First Friday posts (I’ve also been around for not long). This also means that you’re probably going to be hanging out in the Community Pool more often, which is where most of the not-new members of the WP community happens to be.

I think the moderators would prefer that if you’ve been here for more than a month, don’t start a post thread (so the newbies have room to start a thread). However, WP veterans (just like new bloggers) can still reply to post threads like what I’m doing right now.

Hi all,
I’ve been selected to participate in a service corps opportunity through my company and will be traveling to Colombia tomorrow. As I will be there for 30 days, the company asked that I blog about my experience. While setting up the blog, I created a site title that will carry me on to other topics after the experience concludes. I’d really prefer to just blog about whatever interests me that day; although I realize that the more popular blogs are geared toward a niche. Any suggestions on what would make the site a little more unique would be appreciated. Thank you.

If this blog is going to be for your company, then perhaps just focus on what they want – you can get a more personal blog going later. You don’t want it to seem like the experience is your “Friday the 13th” while the end of it is the liberation, the “Saturday the 14th.”
