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.

a good start. your topic and the insight you are offering people is great for a special niche. Some ideas I would find useful are how to sell successfully online depending on what the product/service is. Or how about an analysis of what is so remarkable about the strategies that have been used by businesses to make a mark online e.g. Etsy, self publishing and lots more

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, not easier. If you cut your tags down to the most relevant, you’ll actually draw more readers.

Here’s my first post, a very short introduction to why I started the blog. Thank you for reading!

Hi. Just popped in to look at your blog and will leave a few suggestions for you:
It looks to me like you’re using the Hemingway Rewritten theme, and this one gives you a side bar where you can put your widgets. Right now you have no sidebar visible.
If you go to your Themes (on the left-hand pop out bar under My Site) and click on Customize, one of the tabs on the bar that slides out is Widgets. Click on that and you’ll see the widget options. You should install a Recent Posts widget for sure, plus a Tag cloud or Category list. The widgets you choose should appear in a sidebar to the right of your posts. Recent Posts widgets make a blog more user-friendly, so the reader doesn’t have to scroll and scroll down to see what you’ve posted lately.
WordPress allows up to fifteen total categories and tags. Use as many as are suitable. General tags (or categories) such as: Personal, Musings, Thoughts, Random, Reflections, Home, Family, Blogs, Blogging. for more ideas, go to https://en.wordpress.com/tags for more ideas.
Hope some of this will help you.

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!
(Also — Looks 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! )

One other thing — your theme uses post excerpts, which is why you’re seeing the “This is a post excerpt” text you have right now. When you’re writing/editing a post, you can find the place to add an excerpt under the “More Options” tab on the left side of the page.
