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.

  5. Hello, I am quite new to this whole blogging thing. Started my blog a week ago I think? Anyway my blog is about being a busy adult in this day and age. Looking after yourself, a house, a pet, your other half, the neighbours cat, and on top of it all doing well at your job. To sum up it’s how I manage (or try to be a functioning adult)
    You might find it a good read, fun or maybe even relatable. Hope you like it let me know what you think.
    Much appreciated.
    A Wanna Be Adult

  17. Hello bloggers,
    My first post is my attempt at getting back into writing as a coping mechanism. I also enjoy photography and will be adding some of that as well in the future. My first post is military related, but almost every post after will be based on my experiences after the military. Thanks.

    1. Wow what a powerful post. It is tricky writing in second person but you did it really well. I am interested in reading more. If words are all you have left to give, then you are abundant in treasures to give. Only recommendation is that you do something with the text widget on the right hand side that has generic text in it at the moment. I like the aesthetics of your blog too. Welcome to blogging!

  22. I actually recently started a blog with two associates. We’re all writers and are exciting to share our voice with the world. While this isn’t “my” first post, it is our blog’s first published one.

    But it is nice to know that there are so many others eager to start this journey. It seems like the entire internet is starting a blog. This truly is the electronic age!
