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.

Your blog captured my attention with the word “Shenanigans” in the header. The word just promises mischief and adventure. The header you created is unique and says so much about what to expect in this blog. My only suggestion would be to bold the words “a blog about shenanigans” in the header some how. it fades into the background a bit too much. When i saw it i couldn’t quit make out the words and i had to zoom it a bit to make sure it said what i thought it did.
Its impressive what you’ve done so far on the page, and with your talent, i cant wait to see how you progress.

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought the same thing but I do not think that there is a option to bold that line with the current layout I have. I think I may just have to change the background so the words are visible more. Once again, thank you very much for all the feedback 😊

I was inspired by your logo and thinking about make a logo for my website also. I don’t have a logo yet . As my site title is ” My English Leaning Journal ” , I am thinking put a small picture of book with pen, then followed by the word” My English Learning Journal ” or a cartoon small girl reading a book followed by ” Amelia’s English Learning Journal”. Even though I am no more a small girl, but I believe every woman should have a small girl live inside her hear: curious, pure and lovely.😀 What do you think, any suggestions?

I am very glad that you were inspired by my logo! ❤ For yours, I like the idea of the small picture book with the pen with the words "My English Learning Journal" below the image. The cartoon girl reading a book is also a unique idea, though the text "Amelia's English Learning Journal" would also have to be located underneath the image so that those words are legible. You could also put those words in a though bubble above the character. Whichever idea you go for, I love the concept behind the image! 😀

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.

Hi fellow Blogger-folks! This will be by third, and possible last, First Friday post. Today, I out the most links back to my previous posts that I’ve ever used (now that I have ten whole posts!) and I’d like to know what you think. How many links is too many? Should I go back to my old posts and create links forward to this one? I’m still very green at all this and any feedback is most welcomed. I want to make my blog more readable, rather than cluttering it up. Do you find the layout readable? Thanks and have a great blogging day! 🙂 Jessica Anne

Nicely done again. I do find your lengthy sentences a bit overwhelming. It’s good to stop and take a breath every once in awhile. Like that preacher! 😉

Hello there. I am a virgin blogger. Well that’s not technically correct either. Since I have attempted a few blogs for the first time this past week, I guess I am no longer a “virgin”. I’m just a guy who has tried to blog as is still uncomfortably faking my way through and pretending I know what I’m doing.
Nothing like sex by the way.
Anyways, I am reposting mostly my historical but not analogically correct posts from social media over the past few years. I add a bit of intro to them to help the reader attempt to understand how my mind works. But mostly I just blabber on until I decide to copy and paste the actual post.
I hope some of you take a look.
I hope others leave some comments.
To be sure, I am not a writer and I don’t pretend to have any skills. I just like to ramble.

I have for a few months now started to go sugar free, I’m not yet confident enough to say that I am sugar free but I have definitely reduced my sugar intake considerably and surprisingly am not craving sugar. My first big test is coming up this weekend as my Mum, Sister, Niece and myself will be going for a high tea, I am promising myself just one cake and no more. Wish me luck.

I have been reading a lot of books. I am planning on doing book reviews on them. Best advice I can give is plan what you can eat before starting as everything, and I mean everything, has sugar in it.

Hello and welcome, new folks! We’re really excited to meet you.
As usual, I just want to remind everyone that we moderate the comments on First Friday pretty heavily — this is really a space for brand new people to introduce themselves and meet one another, and for others to welcome and support them.
If you’re not here to either share your (recent) first post or leave a supportive comment, please head to the Community Pool, which is where any blogger can seek feedback on any aspect of blogging. And if you’re not sure what the guidelines here are, please read the above post — or just ask!
Happy blogging, y’all:)

Welcome to blogging. You should work on the about page. Lots of bloggers like to get to know other bloggers. Also, maybe have a separate home page for your blog in addition to the blog section itself 🙂

Welcome!
A tip — you’re using a lot of tags 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, rather than easier. Focus on the most relevant ones to draw more visitors.

Thank you. That’s a lovely thing to say.
Please understand that I do not do followbacks. I actually use my reading list, and I only follow those I really read. I almost exclusively follow online journals, though I do follow a few real life friends and book blogs. Fiction is not where my interests lie.
Thank you for understanding. ❤

Love the overal style of the blog and the content sounds like it will be right up my street. Only comment I have is that I can’t read the title very well because the black text sits in the shadow under the book. Might be worth amending slightly.
Keep up the good work!
