First Friday

First Friday comments are closed, so the moderators can take some time to enjoy the holidays. We’ll be back the first week in January — see you then!

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.

First Friday comments closed early this week, so the moderators can take some time to enjoy the end of year holidays. We’ll be back the first week in January — see you then!

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.

  6. Hello, everyone! I have just created my blog within the past week, and I am very excited to develop it. I display my original works of art, write about pop culture and lifestyle, and hope to spread a general message of kindness and positivity. This blog is just getting started, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

  18. Hello everyone, it’s really nice to be joining this conversation now I have my new blog up and running! Hannah Beats ana charts my recovery from chronic adult anorexia, but I aim for it to do much more than that and hope to build it into a forum for discussion on recovery and change in eating disorders treatment.
    Here’s my first post. I’d really appreciate any feedback on it:

    I’d also love to connect with other bloggers on eating disorders and mental health, so please do get in touch.

  22. Hi everyone!
    I am so excited to jump into this blogging community! Please feel free to read my first post and let me know what you think. Here’s the link: https://wp.me/p9tZ1V-M It’s a post about a faux pas I made at work this week- yikes!
    I know I have a lot of work to do to make this blog flow easily – but what sticks out most to you? Where should I put my energy first? I take criticism well, so feel free to leave it.
    As always, make it a great day, ya all!
    🙂 Becky
