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.

  4. Hi! This is a story about a British colony that was split up into India and Pakistan on the eve of independence.
    I’m proposing to both countries to realize that they both could give each other a chance because the decision was made during a weak phase.

    The idea also applies to other cultural group conflicts recovering from victimization.

    1. Hello. it is me again “myloudbipolarwhispers” and I am replying to my own post. Oh boy! Did I mention I am not very tech savvy? Well before I was ready to post my comment something happened and it posted and I was not sure how to correct so I thought I would just write a reply hoping you would see it….. It is my passion to educate about Bipolar Disorder, mental illness and to reduce the sigma of mental illness in any capacity I can. I also want to be as positive as I can and be open and honest at the same time.

      “The Sounds of Silence” was my first post but I have added quite a few others since then. I hope you get a chance to read The Sounds of Silence and maybe some others if you have time. I will appreciate any kind of feedback I can get. Hopefully, we can all help each other. Thank you and have a marvelous unsoggy unfoggy bloggy kind of day….. okay that was bad…. but I tried… hahaha….. hugs and blessings.

      1. Thank you very much for your reply. I hope I can help people for sure. It is my passion. I am definitely not a professional writer at ll. I do not think I said that. I said I am a professional artist and was kind of joking. I just said I was a professional artist as I sold a few pieces of artwork in the past so that made me a professional artist…. hahaha….. I definitely never said I was a professional writer. I sure wish I was because that would mean I was a great writer. I love to write and wish I was much better than I am. I am trying to get better at t it. Hopefully, I can become a much better writer and my words will be able to reach, teach and touch many many people.

  9. Hello Everyone! I am so glad I found this page, it makes the anxious feeling of starting a blog go away somewhat. At times the internet can feel like a desert, when you are thinking “How am I going to get anyone to read this!?” But I have read some of your posts and they are inspiring. I am starting a blog just to write about some of my interests and hobbies, ideas and passions, in a constructive and social way. Some of my interests are travel, nature, surfing, hiking, spirituality, photography, reading, music (playing and listening), hunting, cooking, to name a few…. My first post is about my first bowhunt recently. Please take a minute to read it, and if hunting isn’t for you, please try to keep an open mind! There will be plenty of other posts to come about many other things. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE AND CRITICISM!!

  20. Hi. Hello. I just started my new blog, and obviously, I’m having a hard time editing my page, I am new to all these stuff, and it makes me really happy to be a part of this community, to know that there are people who still have the same passion and interest, really is an awesome experience. This is my first blog, I hope that you can share any ideas or feedback or opinion, whether it be bad or good is entirely acceptable. Thank you!

    2. While I still fear the darkness of night, albeit only slightly, I do agree that night time is perfect for reasoning and thinking where you lie down and everything just becomes so simple and clear.
