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.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

Hi, and welcome!
We’re glad you’re so excited about your new blog (yay!), and that you shared your link here. We’d appreciate it if you didn’t leave multiple comment replies linking to your blog — it’s considered a little spammy and we’ll remove the duplicates. The best way to get people to visit you is to visit them and/or leave them some meaningful feedback!

Oh right, sorry. Will watch out for that in the future.

Michelle, quick question though. My post frequency is every two weeks, so if I comment with my link on next week’s first Friday, will it be taken down?

This thread is for folks to share their first post, or to otherwise introduce their new blog — once you’ve already done that, we’d ask you to head to the Community Pool, which is the weekly open thread for any bloggers who want to share/give/get feedback.

Per the guidelines listed in the post, we’d ask that you limit it to your first post/one introduction, and head to the Community Pool after that. There are lots of new folks every week, and we keep this space as focused as we can.

One thing I noticed — you’re using a lot of tags and categories 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.

Hello!
I’ve been using WordPress to blog for three months now. I’m here because I’ve started a new blog though and I would love to get some feedbacks. Posted the first two posts today! Indians would perhaps identify with the second one. It’s titled ‘Hinglish’.

I’ll pop in and visit your blog, but I just left this bit of advice for someone else and will post it here so you others can read it, too.
Take time while this blogging adventure is fresh to write up about five blog posts and store them. Life happens. There’ll be days when you can’t, or just don’t feel like, facing your blog. It’s handy then to have a few posts stored away, just like casseroles in the freezer. 🙂 Because if you go for a week or two without posting anything, it’ll be so much harder to get back at it.
Happy blogging.
