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.

      1. Thank you 🙂 I’m still a beginner at everything around blogging. Tried to follow your blog but couldn’t find a follow button ?

      1. Sure, no problem! Just read your latest post- I love how concise but informative it is. You give just the right amount of information to give an insight on the movie without being a spoiler. I will check out more of your posts later x

    1. Bloggers, please note that we delete links to your sites left as signatures on your comments. The extra link is considered spammy, as fellow bloggers can click on your handle to visit your blog. Thanks for understanding!

    1. Would you consider adding an “about” page? Where you can do a short intro, say what sport you played and why you stopped. Just an idea. Might be helpful for those who come to your blog later in your blogging.

    1. Don’t forget to edit your about page and your text widget and your default first post. I think you should also make it known that your post is a direct copy from cosmo.

    1. Break up your writing into distinct paragraphs. Also, I’m sad to say that your 20s might be better than your 30s (or any other time), so… yea. rough way ahead of you.

  2. I’m a new blogger doing my best to challenge myself by doing something outside of my comfort zone. I hope others join me to see not only me grow, but my blog grow as a gain knowledge and confidence in my posts.

    1. Great name for a blog! I liked your post ‘Life Focus: Trying Things’ but you might want to consider re-naming it to include what the post is about. Arm knitting is more likely to pique people’s interest (in my opinion).

    2. You had me at books and art 😀
      First off, love the title of your blog 🙂 Second, the way the homepage organized is highly efficient. Nice work.
      I would recommend adding categories for your posts.

    3. I’m looking forward to reading more from you! I would also suggest adding a “read more” button in your posts. Eventually your home page is going to have many more posts, and new viewers might get overwhelmed with all of the text between posts.
