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. Thanks so much for having a look Ruth! I know.. it’s difficult to know what to say, especially when you are just starting out. I will give it a go though!

    1. I couldn’t find a like button. You’ve also fallen into the trap of asking people to fill in their name, email and website. I very rarely comment if faced with this option, so you might want to re-think that option.

    1. Hi Mike,

      You graduated to the Community Pool last week. First Fridays is for those sharing posts published within the last month. We delete comments from bloggers who have been publishing for more than a month to keep this space set aside for brand new bloggers specifically. Thanks! All the best!

  18. And Happy Friday to you! I hope life is treating you well and your spirits are high.

    For any bloggers starting out who are interested in featuring their own art (or artistic flair of sorts in general) on their page, I’d be more than willing to share any tips or advice I have! There’s a healthy community of artists on here and it’s also a fun additional item to post on one’s Page on top of an assortment of other things. From one artist to another, best of luck 🙂

    2. Beautiful blog and I loved your suggestions. I appreciated that you did not offer the same old worn out laundry list of things to do on Valentines. Great work!

    3. Really enjoyed the suggestions, they were very different from the usual BuzzFeed article. Really liked your blog, but couldn’t find a Follow button, so you might want to look into that. But otherwise, great stuff; keep the blogging going! 😊

    1. Read your short story, and the end had me shook. It was genuinely so well-written and I couldn’t help but admire your style of expressing. Really great stuff, keep the blogging going! 😊

    1. Make sure you edit your About page! I always go there first to get a feel for a blog and it’s creator. You still have the instructional text. Keep writing! You address some very real, and not-spoken-about-enough thoughts and feelings.

  27. Hi All,

    After several years of wanting to start a blog, I woke up on Sunday the 4th Feb 2018 and decided I was going to do it. Between balancing looking after 2 children (a toddler included), working as an Audiologist and not being very IT literate, I have published 11 posts in 12 days. It has been hard graft but so much fun. I am very new to blogging and would appreciate all the support, any advice and feedback is welcome. I am looking for ways to improve.

    My blog is about lifestyle; family, food, beauty, travel and funny stories. I try and tackle serious issues with humour. I have kept my posts short.

    Please have a look at my first post;

    If you like the post/s please follow, comment and like.

    Thank you so much. I hope you like reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing/creating the posts/blog.

    4. Wow, there’s just so much on your blog to catch up on! I really do love that you find the time to do all of said things and still manage to keep a more than positive outlook on every single one of them, really inspirational stuff. Keep it going, wonderful blog! 😊
