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.

    1. Hey Anonymous, your blog looks good and nice initial posts! Just two suggestions on the layout of the blog.
      First you have social icons in the bottom on your blog which you could link to your social channels. Second thing is, you have long posts, so its better to insert “Read More” tags so that people dont have to go through the whole post to navigate to next blog, also it looks nice to have short text display.
      Good luck and cheers!

      2. You take your own time, I just suggest as we all need to help each other to understand what is missing in a blog. At the end we will enjoy each others writing right? Keep writing girl!

    1. Nice start. Loving the way you bring out your post. Little improvements could be made in your blog like adding a cover picture in your page, and changing the text widget in the top right of your blog, and adding content into your ‘about’ page by just pressing the customise button in your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. Wow… I think your blog is taking a 180 degree turn, the last time i have visited your blog, it was crisp, now it is sombre. I do not know how to express the words in me, your recent posts really suits the theme that you have now, but the previous ones are not close. The content is still at your pinnacle. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. Hey there, I’ll be sure to post more entries. This piece of writing is actually an introduction but it’s not self explanatory because I have to provide more examples which I will soon.

      3. Great start to your blog and I love the blog name! You may want to write something in the About page as your first post will gradually drop to the bottom when you post more in future.

    3. Well written and composed, all of your writings, you are able to catch our attention when reading through your blog. A little improvement that you may want to consider, is to add a cover picture to your page, by pressing the customise button in your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

      1. Thanks for your awesome feedback, and the helpful tip on the cover picture. I’ve tried a couple and haven’t found the right one yet – but I’ll definitely keep thinking about what picture to use 🙂 Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it!

    5. Hello! Thank you for choosing to share your new blog. 😄 I am able to relate to this in a few ways: the constraints of feeling as if you have to do something or be someone you’re not…and the discovery of exercising as finding yourself. I’ve never personally done Crossfit, but I do yoga. The feeling of at peace you described reminded me of my own adoration of tranquility in yoga. I look forward to future writings from you! Cheers. ☺️

      1. Oh wow thank you! That’s really great to hear that some of my thoughts and experiences are resonating with others. I do yoga at least once a week as part of doing a variety of movement, and it’s an amazing feeling. I love the word tranquility – it makes me feel instantly calm and blissful! 🙂

    1. Applause to your grandiose writings, the expressions, the totality of your writings are on point, love the feelings that you poured into your blog. There are slight improvements that could be done, a cover picture in your home page would look nice, and the text widget at the very bottom of your page could be changed, all by pressing the customise button in your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

      1. Hey thanks for the feedback, unfortunately my theme supports a huge photo that I don’t want, I guess I have to change it. I have read your blog and wow, how thoughtful and deep your posts are, you must be a sensitive person! Cheers

    1. Loving your bold start off your blog. Loving the way that you compose your writings in a wide and broad perspective. There is a minor thing that you could improve on that is adding a new cover photo for your page by pressing the customise button in your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. A generous start, and a great starting point for you. Loving the theme that you have chosen for your blog. There are some little things that you can improve on, you may add a cover picture in your page by pressing the customise button in your page, and also changing the text widget at the top right column of your page could be changed by the same method. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    2. Welcome 🙂

      I noticed that you still have some placeholder text in your blog’s sidebar, over to the right of your posts — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. Look for the Text Widget!
