First Friday

Brand 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. its actually a good idea to WRTIE reviews instead of doing a youtube video
      youtube creators become corrupt after the fame
      then they have to only do what the sponsers say
      anways, welcome to the blogging world.
      and keep posting honest reviews!

      1. Yes, and I do like my writing more than doing a video because the costs are less. Thank you for following the blog and commenting!

  1. Hi I’m a neuropsychologist answering questions about psychology – like what the heck is neuropsychology?! I have answers to your questions about popular psych, life and career path to enter the field and all kinds of Q&A about grad school! I hope it’s a helpful resource to students and the world of curious people at large!

    2. I loved reading the reason behind the name of your blog. You have a bright future. My only critique would be to make sure you edit the text widgets that still have the directional text. Keep writing!

  2. I am very new to blogging, and not much of a writer. I started this blog to write down my thoughts and opinions to help me work through some things in my life and be more open and honest about who I am. I would love feedback and maybe some help on a direction for my blog and things to write about. Looking forward to the blogging journey!!

  3. Hi all! I just started blogging. I would love for you all to check out my first post! I have an introductory post about my intention with my blog, as well as my very first post: Diary of an Alcoholic’s Daughter. My blog will be focused on seeing the world through someone else’s perspective. I want to change the world to make us all feel a little closer, a little kinder, and a little more loved. You are loved, you matter, and your story should be heard.
