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. I love your blog so far. I followed as I’m a newer travel blogger as well. Do you all have an Instagram? I like your photos.

    2. Also I noticed there is a text widget at the bottom of your page that is blank. You may want to put something in it or delete it until you know what you want to put in it.

    1. Have you considered adding the google translate or Gtranslate widget to translate from Portuguese to English? It might save you time in having to type the second half of your blog posts again in English. It’s nice that you provide both languages but it just might save time adding a translation widget.

    1. Hi and welcome to blogging. I hope you enjoy it here and your blog is whatever you want it to be. I would say that although you are new but still try to get rid of the text widget indication in the right column it gives an unfinished look to the blog. Goodluk

  30. Here is my first blog attempt. Education is my passion. It uploaded to my Twitter account but I can’t get it to display on my webpage. It is in my blogs only but my blogs don’t show up. And a question, is it only if I add a new blog that it goes to my Twitter account. New pages don’t go to twitter as well do they?
