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. Hi Everyone, I have been wanting to create a blog forever, but I have always had an issue with material. I attempted to start a blog years back with Blogspot, but nothing came of it.This is the link to my second post as the first one is just an introduction.

    Be honest. I am not sure if it is too personal as I am still playing around with content.

    1. Pretty good start. Might want to add some more content before getting really serious into the world of blogging. Also your “about” page still shows the default message, so you’ll probably want to get that changed.

  5. Hi there, I’m Lewis and I have recently started a blog. It’s completely out of character for me to start one, and that just makes it more exciting! I wanted to be a lad that talks about feekings, whether they be mental health issues, relationships and just general life problems. Hope people give it a read and like it so far 😊 defectivebutyoung.wordpress.com

    2. Content is great. I think it is very relatable, as a lot of kids deal with the same issues. The black font on the red background is a little much to the eyes, though. But everything else is awesome!! Keep it up 🙂

  7. Not sure which qualifies as my “first post” because I submitted three within a few mins of each other, but this is the one I wrote first – https://mortalfollyblog.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/fifty-shades-of-grey-review-or-why-i-hate-fifty-shades-of-grey/

    It’s basically a snarky rant on the fifty shades franchise (which I bloody hate) and the *gag* “phenomenon” that it’s attracted. If you haven’t worked it out already, I really, really hate those books. Happy reading!

    2. Welcome 🙂

      I noticed that you still have some placeholder text in your blog’s sidebar, over to the right of your posts — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. Look for the Text Widget!

    1. Welcome 🙂

      I noticed that you still have some a couple of automatically-generated widgets blog’s footer, at the bottom of the blog — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. Look for the Text Widgets and the Map Widget.

      3. There are widgets for each of those, which you can add to your blog by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. You’ll find a search tool in there, so just search for “facebook” and “instagram” to find them.
