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.

Hi there! Your link goes back to your dashboard, so I can’t actually see your blog. Make sure to click “view site” on your blog so you can see what your readers see and share that link instead. Then we’ll be able to read your post. 🙂

I left a comment there! It’s a very brace first post.
My only critique is that the font you are using for your headers is a bit hard to read when it’s all in caps. It looks fine elsewhere on the site, but if you decide to keep that font make sure it’s not all in caps for ease of reading.

It’s my first week of blogging. My blog established 4 October 2017.
On the first day, I was very excited and posted my blog, and then I am always watching my stats to go up, up and away!
On the second, third, fourth to fifth days, I was upset and I wanted to delete my blog site. But, something came up in my mind that I need to continue blogging because of its purpose for the orphans and street child like me.
Now I just got 635 hits. Can you help me to raise the hits?Please check out the link.
Thanks a lot for Madam Michelle Weber.

Looks like you haven’t given your site a title yet! If you’d like to add one (we recommend it), you can do that by going to My Site > Customize > Site Identity.
And be sure to add your blog’s address to your profile here — that way, people will be able to click on your name and go right to your blog. You can update that here: https://wordpress.com/me/. (Right now, your profile has the wrong link.)

LikeLiked by 3 people
Sure, you login to wordpress and on the top left you see a icon called ‘my site’. A lot of options open and there’s an option called themes. Beside which there’s an option called customize. Click on that and you can make changes to your site. Such as giving a header, logo, text widget (a little text on the right side of your blog), footer (e.g.- recent posts on the end of the page). You can also add links to your social media account. This makes your site looks complete. try visiting your site when you’ve logged out of wordpress, you’ll come to know what’s missing. And for such a long explanation. But feel free to ask anything!

This is not my very first post, but my second post for my first post is just an introductory post to me and why I am blogging/writing.
I have always love to write, but I am VERY rusty and want to maybe, possibly, someday publish — even if it’s just a short story somewhere.
Since I am rusty, please keep checking my blog as I get better :). And I don’t write as often as I like, and I always seems to have rough drafts that don’t get published ;).
Thanks for reading!!

I started a private blog a year ago, made one post then this past August started it seriously again, doing one post per week. I now have 15 posts but just took it public last week, (I wanted to get comfortable with the process first). My blog is called http://www.thehomeplaceweb.wordpress.com It is a lifestyle blog celebrating a simpler more peaceful life. I am a newly retired baby boomer with rural roots, hence the name thehomeplace. My aim with the blog is to support my weekly theme with art, music and books related to the topic. I am still struggling with setup but any feedback would be welcome.

I went through many hurdles to obtain great jobs at some of the top companies in the Financial Services industry and along the way, I learned a lot.
