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.

  3. I’ve blogged off and on for a while now but seemed to peter out in about 2007 – about the time I discovered Facebook. About 3 weeks ago, coinciding with my ending my time on social media, I returned to regular blogging after an almost ten year hiatus.

    Posts are generally in one way or another devoted to trying to do things in which I’m not in control of what might happen – not so much doing risky things as things that take me a bit out of my comfort zone. A fair bit of that involves traveling long distances on bikes but other things include my experiences traveling elsewhere in the world, learning Hindi and trying to find ways to practice it in town, and cooking and eating new foods.

    My first post is here: https://serendipityencouraged.wordpress.com/2017/06/29/out-for-a-ride/

    Thanks for checking it out!

    Hi! I am so excited to be starting a blog! There are a lot of topics that I feel very strongly about and I needed a place where I could let all those feelings out, so I created a blog. đŸ™‚ I just started my blog early yesterday morning, and I’m not sure how to get it out there so that more people see it. I’m going to be posting some deep thoughts, photography, art and maybe some recipes. It would mean the world to me if people would check it out!😊
