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. A note — 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, rather than easier. Make sure to focus on the most relevant ones for each post.

      1. Well, I’ve done collabs before and for those, I usually get in conact with the blogger I want to collab with (you can use my “Talk to Me” page to do so) and we discuss common interests and go from there. For one of my previous collabs, I did a “Books We are Looking Forward to” post. Maybe we can do something similar to that. Let me know! 🙂

    1. 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.

  22. Hey everyone! I just started blogging. I recently moved and someone told me to find a hobby. I have always liked writing so I’m trying this whole blogging thing! I just write about random stuff, add recipes I Like, talk about wines I do and don’t like, and talk about my pittbull in hopes people will stop catorgizing them and their owners ad bad people.

  26. Hi everyone I’m redoing this as I realize I probably should said a bit more than just sticking a link on to the post ! Well it kind of tells you why I am a failed writer -which is kind of what my blog is about. I try to to see the funny side of my life as an aspiring writer while holdingon yo a full time muggle world. I’ve been blogging since 2 weeks now and would appreciate any comments and feedback .

    1. Sorry I should have said what my blog is about! It’s about life as a mother.. or mombie 😜 I have had lots of people with children and without tell me they love my social media posts and the stories I share. So I decided to expand my stories into a blog. Any tips would be appreciated:) thanks in advance!
