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. You’ve got me real intrigued here now! I was drawn to the post cause of your comment; and now I want answers! This is exciting stuff, keep blogging! 😊

    1. That’s so good to know! I guess I will be changing my morning routine! If I were to make a suggestion, I would suggest you add an about page so we can learn a little more about you and your blog 🙂

    2. For a start go to your Home page and click on About – then you can edit it! You get the edit prompt at the bottom right hand of the page. You can write a little biog or why you want to write a blog. Sometimes the first blog post makes a great About page.
      Hope this helps 🙂

  12. Hi. Not too sure how to post my link on here. I’m not very teach savvy and I literally just decided, very last minute, to write down the thoughts in my mind at the moment and turn it into a blog. I might change the direction of my blog- although honestly, there’s no real direction, since I really just wrote what I was feeling at the moment- but maybe, someone reads my first entry and relates? Or maybe they don’t. I didn’t write for the purpose of sharing it, but I figured, why the heck not?
    Disclaimer: I’m not a writer, so it might not be an interesting blog post (to anyone besides me). It was just pretty much a run-on thought that I put to keyboard.

    Um, yeah. I think that’s about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for reading my comment. 🙊

    3. You’ve got this. The good thing about your thoughts is that no one else has them…therein, your blog becomes interesting! Keep at it 😉

    4. I’m off to read your blog . . . don’t worry about not having a theme/direction . . . that’s where categories come in to their own – and I haven’t done it but I think you can add other pages later 🙂

    5. Great start! I would suggest breaking up your longer paragraphs to make it easier to read for those less inclined to read longer posts. You can also add pictures through the text to help with this too.
      Hope this helps 🙂

    2. Personally, I would like the font size to be a bit bigger. Otherwise, the look and content of your blog is both great! Keep it going, great stuff! 😊

    1. Loved your poetry; very moving. Next time, you might want to add an interesting little description of the post/blog in the comment itself, thus attracting more people to click on the link you provide. Keep the blogging going, would love to hear back from you, great stuff! 😊

    2. Looking good, you had my interest from the beginning. One suggestion would be to create an About page. I always look for that first so that I can get a feel for a blog and it’s creator.

    1. Congratulations! You published your first post more than a month ago.

      You’re ready to move on to the Community Pool, where the water is fine and the members of the community are lovely. Bloggers of all stripes and levels of experience are welcome to comment there and ask for feedback and advice on their blog. All the best!
