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.

He Shivani, thanks for your kind appreciation about my blog. To be frank I just now checked the stats and it said 250 comments last month! 😀 I checked your blog and I find that you have done a great job configuring them. Way you did your homework you look like very organized person. Now coming back to the responses on WP, basically I see it all depends on what you write and how you engage with people, only then the conversations stat. I am not expert here, just started this April, but I am able to attract lot of followers. May be because kind of posts I do. First find the blogs like yours, and follow them. Then interact with them, not because you want them to follow you, but exchange real ideas. This way people will get curious to check your blog. Unlike other social channels here the followers will come very slowly. Dont get mislead by blogs having thousands on followings, if you check the likes some of those blogs generating very shabby. I have one post under my blog, under category called WordPress, this I wrote some time ago for the benefit of new comers here. You have to find like minded people in WP itself, very few fallowing will come from Facebook and Instagram, in my opinion. Something applicable to LinkedIn too. One thing is sure, quality stuff will be picked up by people, but you have to do be patient here. Build your audience slowly and steadily. Dont do fallow to fallow kind of stuff, it never works. Have user interactive posts regularly if possible.
Again I am not an expert, just my two cents to you.
Hope it makes some sense, and wish you all the best.
Raj

Hmm…with a joint account, I don’t think this is possible. I could be wrong, though. Just because one of you separately logs in, the system doesn’t know which of you it is, if that makes any sense. I know you leave a signature at the end of your posts, which is a nice idea. I’ll have to investigate to see if I can find a better answer for you! 🙂

I used to contribute to a student newspaper on wordpress, and we were able to upload posts through separate accounts (similar to how several different people are able to contribute and post under the Daily Post blog name). If one of you made a separate account in your name, then became a contributor to the other, main blog, that might do the trick. Alas, I forget the specifics of it, but I don’t think it’s too difficult once you have that second account?

Create another account for your wife on WordPress. And login from the main account and add your wife as an editor. Once done both of you can access the same blog and post. All your comments will be displayed with your own login names. This is the right way of doing it. WordPress already has a support for it. ope this helps.

As Raj mentioned, you can add multiple users on one blog and assign various user roles: https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/
This means that each contributor/author can have their own bylines on their posts.
If you currently just share one username/account to log into WordPress.com, you might consider signing up for another username/account so you’re able to leave your own comments, write your own posts, have essentially have separate “identities” across wp.com. This is the approach that most group blogs and bigger publications take.

Good Morning and Welcome Kristina!, Overall I think your blog is brilliant. Your about page is simple, and leaves the door open to anything creative versus just one thing. I enjoyed your story. I’m not too fond of birds either since I’ve had a vulture vomit into my car window and onto me and once on the way to class at university a bird pooped on me. Your writing is very descriptive but simple, and i loved the images it created in my mind.
