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.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I started my blog earlier this month after a recent breast cancer scare. This experience helped me realize the misalignment between the work I was doing, how I was spending my time, and the work I actually wanted to do. I was inspired to start my own marketing consulting business tailored to millennial female entrepreneurs who are doing their part at sharing their passions. My first post is focused on this transformative experience:
Hope you guys can take a look and would love any feedback 🙂 Thanks!

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, not easier, so keep an eye on how many you’ve got.

Hi, great start! You may want to look at adding a side bar with tags, categories, archives etc. this will help you ‘file’ your blog posts, help readers locate what they are looking for and promote your site with internet searches.

FYI: that link goes to your dashboard, which is private, so people won’t be able to see your site. The simplest way to get the public link is to go to your blog’s homepage and click on the post title. Then, copy the address you see in your browser’s address bar and use that.
Here’s your homepage: https://bookhaven467773552.wordpress.com/
Be sure to add your blog’s address to your profile as well — 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/public-profile/. Right now, your profile has a link that’s not working.

Hi, great start and welcome!
You have not filled in your about page – bloggers do look at this to find out a bit more about you. As your site grows you will also find it helpful if you have categorised and tagged your posts – this will help readers locate themes they are interested in.

You don’t have to have a direction yet – you’re still finding your blogging voice! In the process of finding your blogging voice (what you want to talk about, how you want to talk about it, who you are in the blog – it’s more distinct from you in real life than one might think), you’ll find the direction you want to go.
Perhaps you could start the journey by writing up your About page?
