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.

I’d say write when you have time. I’m a big fan of the “Schedule Posts” feature, because I’m busy working two jobs and going to school full-time, so I don’t have the time to sit downa nd write every day. This allows me to write content when I’ve got the time and have it roll out on the blog as it needs to. I try to publish book reviews on Sundays, Recipe reviews on Wednesdays, and a random writing about life on Fridays. Other things happen here and there throughout the week as they do. Being able to write a whole lot of posts at once and schedule them keeps me from getting overwhelmed by the “I need to write something today!!” feeling when it creeps up on me.
Good luck, and welcome! (And I’ll tell you, stay AWAY FROM ULYSSES! That is a book nobody needs to read! I read it for a class last semester and almost died.)
LikeLiked by 2 people
Thanks for the advice! It seems like the schedule method is what everyone swears by on here from all the posts I’ve read. I’m a busy person too but it seems like if I stay on top of things I’ll be okay!
Ulysses is one that I’m dreading actually. I read a few passages in school and it was horrible. My plan was to just put it off until I can’t avoid it anymore!
LikeLiked by 1 person
If you decide to read it (and I strongly suggest you don’t, because I have never cried so much in anger and frustration than reading Ulysses), buy the footnote book that accompanies it. It won’t save you much headache, but it will save you some.

Okay a relatively new blogger here. I write about topics that are somewhat niche and esoteric but I always try to make my point as clear as possible and make the reader understand what I’m talking about. It’ll be of immense help if you, the reader would read my latest post and give some much needed review as to whether it was understandable or not. I am always sure to go through this weekly thread and the community pool thread and review as many blogs as possible and give some constructive feedback, I’ll be sure to give it to you too in case you need some. Anyway here’s the link :

I found your post very nice. If you’re going to review books, remember to do a thorough spelling/grammar check on your post before you publish it 🙂 It’s just a little something that shows you pay attention to the small details. Plus, if you’re a book reviewer, it doesn’t reflect too well on you if your readers think you can’t be bothered to proofread!
Welcome to the book-reviewing world, and good luck to you!

FYI: that link goes to your dashboard, which is private, so people won’t be able to see your site. The simplest way to get the public link is to go to your blog’s homepage and click on the post title. Then, copy the address you see in your browser’s address bar and use that.
Here’s your homepage: https://itsrachela.wordpress.com/
(Also, a tip — 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.)
