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.

    3. Hi, I have a history blog, as I studied history and like to share my love of it. Do you have a special interest or hobby? Something that maybe a little niche, but you’d like to share anyway? I have friends who blog and write about day-to-day occurrences, a bit like a journal. By using categories to ‘file’ stuff in separate areas of our blogs you can really write about a multitude of subjects to please a lot of people. I hope this helps x

      2. Hi, I’ve only done it once and unfortunately the comments closed at the same time. I have an android phone, if you open it as a webpage you can copy and paste then (or should be able to).

  28. Hello – First time blogger here. I’m inspired to be in the WordPress community and look forward to learning from all of you. My blog is up – I still want to vamp it up a bit (aka still under construction), but any criticisms/advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m an attorney/Wish I Was a Writer – When i was younger, the first job I wanted was to be an Author. My goal is to write about my journey so far and the life experiences I have been through – how God has played such an instrumental role in my life, and share the voice He gave me with others, while also sharing pictures of my travels and hoping making you laugh every once in a while. Sorry, for the long message – as they say in my yoga class, “The light in me, bows to the light in you” – Namaste.
