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 their first post with the larger WordPress.com community. To share your post, 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 posts to keep this space focused for new bloggers. 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!
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!
- The third time is not the charm: don’t share your stuff repeatedly, or in multiple First Friday threads. We’ll remove repeat posts.
- 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. These will be removed as well.
- Avoid repeated “Follow for a follow!” comments or repeatedly replying to comments with your link; this is considered spammy. (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.

I know the feeling of being a frustrated writer. I’ve had a few blogs so far, but they all tapered off due to lack of views and I didn’t think anyone really wanted to listen. I hope you find your “niche” as well and find like minded people to listen and discuss. 🙂

I like the look of your page! When I looked at the About though, it said your facebook page was not a valid URL. I started blogging only a couple of months ago, and a lot of people were quick to help me clean up my unused widgets and whatnot, so I thought I would pay it forward! Keep it up!!

This is a brilliantly idea.
I am not sure what my blogs offer, what I can tell you is-I have been blogging for a while and it has all been pretty random until recently.
I will not say that I have only just suffered with mental illness but it is he first time it has become the most overbearing part of me. So I have started to blog my everyday life, in the hope that it helps someone else. Also, to give me something to return to when my battles seem harder than I can take. Really just to remind me how far I have come.
I hope you can find a moment to read them and leave any questions or comments you want. I look forward to reading a lot of others blogs! 😘

Hi @overemoticon,
Welcome! I noticed you’re using a lot of tags on 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 work. If you cut your tags down to the most relevant, you’ll actually draw more readers.

Hi everyone! I just joined today and am trying to find my “niche.” I don’t have any one particular thing I like to focus on, other than I enjoy talking about things society considers “taboo” such as mental illness, religion, politics, but I mostly enjoy talking about the antics of my pony. He’s adorable. Like seriously, if you ever meet him, you will fall. in. love. He’s just so cute! I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like him, and most kids ask if I’d be willing to let them have him. Gah!
Anyway, I’d love it if you stop by and take a look. If I can actually get people to read my stuff it will motivate me to keep posting and hopefully improve my blogging and writing style.
