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.
  • When commenting, avoid copying and pasting the same response repeatedly. It makes it look like you’re not really paying attention. Not to mention, it’s spammy.

    1. I look forward to seeing what you write. How is it you have 201 followers before you’ve posted your first story? That’s incredible. Are you known in another sphere? :O

Please you can help me achieve this by following my blog. Together we rule the world.

    3. Very informative and well structured. If you are looking to add any improvements, the only thing I would say is to quickly proof read before posting, checking for word repetition, grammatical errors and especially, to make sure you have put in all the definite and indefinite articles that are needed (a, an, the). I think that will make a big difference. Love your use of vocabulary, it is really professional-sounding. A very interesting piece. Thanks for sharing. You should definitely carry on blogging! 🙂

  9. Hey there, I’m just in the middle of creating my own photography page but just wondering if you could have a look and check out what I have so far 😊

    Here is my link: https://acphotographypage.wordpress.com/

    I also use social media as a way of getting my photography photos seen. My Instagram page is the best thing to look at to see my photography which will be on the contacts section of my site.

    Thank you 😊

    1. Hi Friesguy,

      I took a look at your blog. I think the intro page is beautifully honest and portrays you as a very likable person! Your command of English is really very good, with only a few errors, but if you want to make it professional as a writer in English, you will need to learn where the errors are and how to correct them. Writing often and reading good quality English material will sort this out. I read both your entries, and you have the skills to make it as a writer; a willingness to explore vocabulary, ability to structure your work well. Syntax is actually very good too. I really hope things go well for you as a writer. My very best wished for you. Don’t stop writing!!!

      If you haven’t already and fancy, I would be very grateful if you would take a look at my site . The Gravatar next to may name will take you to it. Like or comment if you wish, and if you happened to feel drawn to hit follow, then it would make my day! 🙂

    1. The content, the design, the font, and the theme all of them are matching each other. Which is such a great sign for a blogger! Good luck and keep going!

  27. Most of my family and friends love my food, taste in decor and style and are often saying ‘oh you’d be a great interior decorator/ cook’ etc. But the thing is there already are so many people with great taste & who are good cooks that I don’t think its a USP. But I love the creative side, so decided to start blogging/ instagramming as a bit of fun. Hope you enjoy…
