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.

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.

I’ve been with that situation and I thought I wont be able to overcome it, but I did.

Hi all,
After years (I mean years) thinking about stories and characters I’d like to write about, or telling fairy tales to my kids, I’ve finally started writing some flash fiction in a Google Group. I posted them to my new short fiction blog this week and am eager for reactions. My poor husband is supportive but there is only so much he can do to feed my enormous and oversensitive ego! I welcome compliments and cheering, and I will be crushed by criticism, but I will also listen and learn from it, so bring it on!
Also, if you ask for my review, I will provide a thoughtful editorial response.

Hi. I checked out your blog. I think you have a good start, but if you intend to be a travel blogger, I would reccommend focusing on travel related topics and details that might be useful to other travelers (think of things you were researching before taking your trip). You have a review of the motel, which is good, but maybe add more details about places you reccommend, prices, etc. As of now, your posts focus more on your personal experience rather than your travel experience, which is fine if you want your blog to be more of a personal story! It just depends on your intentions and what direction you want to steer your blog (:

I’d like to wish you all success in this new adventure. I’ve been blogging since Jan 2012 and it’s been so much fun.
New bloggers sometimes ask, “How often should I post?” Here’s my opinion; hope it helps someone:
Definitely once I week. The more you write, the more you’ll feel like writing. The less often you post, the easier it will be to let the whole thing slide. Been there, done that. Posting twice a week is good, every other day is great, every day is super.
Be a courteous blogger; don’t flood your reader’s Inbox. If you publish four posts a day, chances are only two will get read. Likewise with long posts that cover several topics: better to divide them into several ‘bite-sized’ posts than have your readers give up partway through. Most of us lead busy, active lives and have more to do than read blog posts all day.
If you have lots of ideas for posts, write them and save them in your word processor. We all have times when life calls us away from blogging for awhile. Then you can pull one of your saved posts up and publish it. Or you can schedule these posts and keep your blog active while you’re otherwise occupied.
All the best, everyone.
