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. Click on a post’s title 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 their first post with the community! To share your first post with us, copy and paste the link right into a comment here.

Posts should have been published within the last month, and should be your first post. We’ll remove other links to keep this space focused on new bloggers. If you’re not new, you can still be a part of First Fridays by visiting a link or two and leaving the bloggers a supportive like or comment.

We ask that you help us keep this space focused with a few other guidelines:

  • If you share a link, visit a few other bloggers as well. New readers for all!
  • Please don’t share the same link repeatedly, or in multiple First Friday threads. We’ll remove repeat posts.
  • Link directly to your new post — it makes it easier for folks to like the post or leave you comments.
  • Avoid repeated “Follow for a follow!” or “Please look at my blog!” comments. They’re a bit spammy, and it’s much more effective to visit and comment on individual blogs.
  • To keep from losing your place, right-click on links to open them in a new tab or window.

  1. This is all very new to me. I am an artist and live in the south of France. I have started this blog to share some of my creativity. So far it just has a few of my photographs but later I will share some of my art work as well.

  4. Mother of 3. I tend to feel subhuman sometimes being a stay at home mom. So, I wanted to start a blog to gain some of my sanity back 🙂
    Hope I can relate to other moms or even working woman in general who have robotic like days when you forget who you are in the midst of repeating your daily life!!!! So wish me luck on this new journey! Hope you enjoy!

    1. If you feel like you could use a little more help with the ins and outs of WordPress.com, there’s a really useful “getting started” tutorial here: http://learn.wordpress.com.

      And there’s lots of great posts here on The Daily Post — down at the bottom, you’ll find a widget that will let you browse by category, so you can focus on things like themes, widgets, and layout/design.

    1. Welcome!

      One piece of advice: I noticed you’re using a lot of tags on some of your posts. The WordPress.com Reader actually filters out posts that use more than 15 tags and categories (combined) as an anti-spam measure, so using this many tags actually makes it harder for folks to find your posts, which is sad! If you cut your tags down to the most relevant, you’ll actually draw more readers.

    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, public homepage 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://lovealwaysrach.wordpress.com/

  12. Hello all! My name is Keith, and I am a new blogger/author. Over the last four years, I’ve written three books and I’m beginning to post them chapter by chapter to see if you like them. I’m very new to WordPress, and any constructive criticism and praise would be most welcome as well as new friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have writing it!

    Sincerely,

      I noticed that you still have some placeholder text in your blog’s sidebar (on the right) — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. Look for the Text Widget!
