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. Welcome 🙂

      I noticed that you still have some placeholder text in your blog’s footer, at the bottom of the blog, as well as to the right of your posts — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets; look for the Text Widgets.

    2. My experience of reading your blog is akin to reading your personal diary, you really do put in your real feelings, perspectives, and your heart into your writings about the things that are happening around you. Little footnote, there is a text widget at the sidebar, you can edit it by pressing the customise button on your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    3. Welcome!

      One thing I noticed — 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.

    2. Wonderful style of writings, really indulging in the way that you weave those words together into something so magical, so interesting, and captivating. Your blog needs a little bit of pictures to enhance the experience of visiting your blog. Little footnote, there is a text widget at the bottom of your blog posts, you can edit it by pressing the customise button on your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    1. A very splendid blog for parenting, your writings are very insightful and impactful, as we know these days the children are disrespectful to their parents and your blog acts as something that could let the readers realise the privation of parenting. Little footnote, your about page is in need of info, it can be edited by pressing the customise button on your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

  20. Hello!
    This is my last Friday as a new blogger, haha.
    So let me introduce myself. I usually write short poems, write-ups and post inspirational messages and quotes. I hope to expand into lifestyle blogging soon and creating a community where people could support each other through problems and rough times. Maybe also offer some help.
    So here the link to my latest blog post. I hope you’ll like it. Please leave feedback and any recommendations (If any)

    3. Good luck with you! As ZeckromBryan said, there’s still a few little tweaks you can do with your blog’s customization! Take a look at the customize page, and fix that widget in the right sidebar. There’s so much you can do!

    1. Interesting read 🙂 I would recommend splitting the post into smaller sections / paragraphs so it’s easier to follow. Also, work on the about page / contact form. A lot of bloggers read that. Good luck.

    2. Wonderful write-up, it would be nice if you make them into series, it would be an easier read, your expressions in your writings are on point. Little footnotes, there is a text widget at the top right of your blog, your about page is in need of info, and a cover picture for your blog is useful, all of those could be edited by pressing the customise button on your page. Hope to see more from you. Have hope, write on!

    4. The text is so hard to follow that I had to give up. Remember to use your enter key to make some breaks, to make it easier for your reader to read what you’ve written. Another thing I would work on is making post previews (you can either do this manually or your theme may have a way for you to do it), so that people don’t have to scroll forever to find your next blog posts. (Your blog actually changed between refreshes for me and it got me confused for a minute.)

      Why not give us a little more about you in your “About” section, too?

      1. There seems to be something wrong. I’ve been trying to edit the paragraphs and the spaces and yet the blog keeps showing the same old junky stuff.

        Will see that post preview thing! Thank you so much, Lauren!
