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.

  2. I don’t consider myself a writer but today I think I realized why they say writing can be a release and a relief. I might continue coming back to this when I need some of that. Would love some feedback

    FYI – may be a little Indian in context in a few places

    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 page 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: http://thingainwordpresscom.wordpress.com/

      Also, you might want to update your site title (the name that displays on the top of your blog) — it doesn’t have to be the same as your address. You can do that by going to My Site > Customize > Site Identity.

    1. Look like you’ve posted a link to your preview, which only you can see — make sure you share the link to the public, published post!

      (If you’re not sure how to get the correct link, just ask 🙂 )

  26. Hi guys,

    I have recently come back to blogging on my word travels. I also run through best weekend trips in Europe for the price and fine dinning.

    I will be posting on a daily basis for all my previous travels the past year which covers over 15 countries!

    I would appreciate any support that you can provide as I love to get feedback or other people’s experience in this area.

    My trip to Lebanon, Beirut

    Feedback and any similar experiences or suggestion would be most welcome😊

    Have a great day !
