First Friday

New blogger? Welcome! Share a link to your first post, say hello to 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.

    2. Hey! I really liked your piece. It was compact and informative and even a completely fashion oblivious person (hi!) had a chance to keep up. I also liked that you used a lot of pictures and that these were a proper size 🙂

  10. Hi! I just started my blog a few weeks ago. I just wanted a place to empty out the thoughts in my head.

      1. Thank you! I am getting my Yoga Teaching Certification and hope to share some of my experiences and perspectives on this training as well as discuss other ways yoga has enriched my life.

        Life is all a big experiment and I would love to take my readers a long along for the ride.

        I also love food and have my bachelors in Dietetics, more commonly know as Nutrition.

        Yoga and nutrition are such relevant topics right now. Read and feed your soul.

    1. I also thought about that quite a long time until I decided not to – in the end, our past and what we go through is a part of us and defines our character. You should be proud of the person you’ve become through whatever you’ve been through. Trust yourself, you can do it 😉 ! xx Léonie –> https://summerisastateofmind.com/

      2. Go into themes-customise-widgets. Instead of having text in your column with nothing about your blog, you can add most recent categories, facebook page… lots of things. You’ll see what you can add once you go into the widget menu 🙂
