First Friday

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.

    1. Hey Shristi, congratulations on your first post..
      However some observations from my side. Text widget which is on your site needs an edit. Your social icons on the blog can be linked to you social channels or be deleted if you don’t want. About page also needs an edit. Hope this helps…Good luck.

    1. Wonderful blog and nice theme…..really liked it..
      However some observations from my side. Text widget which is on your site needs an edit. About page also needs an edit. Try to add “Read More” tags for your blogs so that on the home page more posts are shown with little info for each of your posts. It looks very tidy that way. Hope this helps…Good luck.

    1. Hey Yashika congratulations on new blog! .
      However some observations from my side. Text widget which is on your site needs an edit. Site title is missing, it’s very important you set that. Your social icons on the blog can be linked to you social channels or be deleted if you don’t want. About page also needs an edit. Also give importance to formatting of formatting of your text in the post, there are lot of empty spaces… Hope you will correct them…..Good luck.

      2. First go to “My Sites” top left… look for “Theme” and then .. “Customize” that will open up your site in design mode.. click on those pen icons to start editing them… you will learn slowly.. its not too difficult… let me know if you are stuck…I will help.. Good luck..

      4. Site title is the name for the site.. on my site “XDrive” is the site title.. it can be your name or what your blog is about. Generally by looking at the site title visitors understand what kind of bog it is.. You can change that later if you change your mind.. but setting it is very important first step.
