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. Very insightful book reviews, loving the style that you have when you are composing your posts, they are very insightful and very informative. A little footnote, the about page is in need of information. Great start. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. Wonderful, you write for Him, it is very good, your posts are very nice, and you could try to add some more description into it to make them better. Little footnotes, there is a text widget at the right of your blog, the about page is in need of information, all of those could be edited by pressing the customise button on your blog. Great start. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. waalaikumsalam, selamat hari raya kepada anda. Haha, Malaysian kan. Jangan risau, blog je, tulis ape-ape saje kat blog situ.
      I have read through some of your posts, they are really good. Little footnotes, there is a text widget at the top right of your blog, your about page needs information, and a cover picture would be nice, all of those could be edited by pressing the customise button on your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!
      Anda akan jatuh cinta kepada blogging. Haha.

    1. Loving the style of your blog, and your writings are very expressive, they are very nice. I want to ask a question, if you are going to focus on one title only, is your blog going to be diversified? Think about it. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

      1. The blog is more of an outlet for our story, but we’re going to post more than just the chapters. The title is actually “Daleia Dangers” (should probably be more specified) but we’ll try to make it more diverse. Thank you for your input!

  14. Blog – Nervous Mocha Mommy
    https://nervousmochamommy.com
    Hello everyone! My blog is about being a mom with anxiety. My first and only post so far is about my current struggle of getting rid of my son’s pacifier. I just made the blog yesterday and I’m already having fun with it. How are you guys liking blogging so far?

    2. It stays fun. It takes hard work and you’ll occasionally have writer’s block. But keep at it, I’m sure many mom’s and mom’s to be would need content like this

    3. Great blog! I followed it and am looking forward to seeing more of your posts, especially because I blog about anxiety and mental health as well.

    2. Hello and welcome aboard the blogging community train! 😃 I think you’ve a brilliant foundation for your blog: photographs and literature?! Simply amazing! Your pictures are beautiful! My only little piece of advice is to play around with the layout and icons on your blog. The reason I brought it up was at the bottom of your blog there’s a text widget without filler text. Perhaps you’d like to add or delete widgets? Maybe even try adding buttons to making looking for specific posts an option? Only suggestions. I wish you all the best!! Cheers. 💫

  17. Hello everyone! So a couple weeks ago I shared a link to my brand new blog to get some feedback on the layout & idea before I officially launched it, and as of this Monday it is now up and running! It is called “This Terrible Morning” and it is a collaborative blog centered around how hilariously terrible mornings can be sometimes. I’d love for you to check it out, and, if you’re interested, submit! Thank you, happy Friday! 🙂

    2. I laughed and cringed and smiled in sympathy all throughout the post. I definitely have these mornings (and also like writing/reading about them fictionally)! In the moment, waking up late or having a terrible morning, is simply awful and feels like the end of the world. (Well, okay, maybe that’s just me; I’m a bit of a drama queen some times 😅.) your writing style is personal and relatable. Your tone is open to the audience and immediately makes them wish to connect with the author. Great job! I look forward to more. I wish you all the best as well as a warm welcome to the community! Cheers! 💫

    2. I enjoyed this post and am interested to see what you write about in the future. Music blogging is one of my favourites, it becomes quite personal because of the effect music has on so many of us.

  25. Hey everyone! Really excited to be starting my blogging journey with such a great community. I will be sharing my journey through life, financially, academically, and athletically, with the goal of helping as many people as possible with my experiences. My first post here

    I will be hopefully posting multiple times per week as I get used to everything and get some feedback on posting and formatting. Thanks to all and good luck!

    1. Just went through your blog 🙂 You need to get a site title and do some customizing. The posts were good but I felt that the words just blurred together coz there were no paragraph separations…. makes it easier to read if there’s a space.
