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. Welcome 🙂

      If you look over to the right of your posts, you’ll see a bit of placeholder text — it’s meant to help you learn how to work with widgets, and you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets. Look for the Text Widget!

      (For more on widgets, what they’re for, and how to use them, check out https://learn.wordpress.com/get-flashy/)

    1. Hi, welcome!
      You’ve made a start! Are you going to blog about food (your name?). You have not yet filled in your about page. Bloggers and readers do look at this so when you’ve time add a few sentences. Happy blogging! 🙂

      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 a public link to your post 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 paste it here.

      Here’s your homepage: https://timothybullardcom.wordpress.com/

      There are some great guided courses at http://bloggingu.wordpress.com, and if you feel like you could use a little more help with the ins and outs of WordPress.com, there’s a useful “getting started” tutorial here: http://learn.wordpress.com.

    1. Hi, you’ve made a great start! If you are worried about English being your second language there are lots of blog pages written to help, I have one on my site and there is another at the very top of this thread for First Friday.
      However, I don’t think you’ve much to worry about. It was a great first post! 🙂

      5. You can either go to your blog’s homepage and click on the post title, then copy the address you see in your browser’s address bar use that, or edit the post, and look for the little link icon next to the post’s title — you’ll find the link there.

    2. I noticed that in your blogs you don’t separate the paragraphs so it kinda looks like I’m reading one long paragraph. Keep in mind to separate your paragraphs, especially for people who are on their phones (I.e me haha). Your blog looks really cool, I really like your writing style, and I can’t wait to see how itll turn out, in time☺️
