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.

  11. Aloha mai kākou! 🙂 It feels lovely being back here after First Friday was on hiatus last week! I also believe this will be the last time I’ll post here as a “new blogger”! 😦 Anyways, I had posted my first post here two weeks ago, and since then, I had written a post that kind of goes deeper into why I really started to blog and how it relates to me as a person. I’ll link the post here: https://anywaythewindblows643558772.wordpress.com/2018/03/27/being-honest-with-you-and-myself/
    Can’t wait to read people’s posts! 🙂

    3. I can totally relate to this. And i started blogging for the same reason too. I am away from my husband for work, so i follow the same monotonous life, day and night. Glad to meet you😊😊😊

  26. If you want to take a “tour” of my WordPress blog, you are most welcome 😊 This blog was created for two main reasons, contained in the very title of the blog, “workandramblings”; that is, to the literarly ‘betrothal’ of my interest in didactic subjects as a student, and my interest in the workings of the mind and their conspicuous and most disparate products. This blog aims to coalesce the two nuances of the aforementioned blog title, and is bilingual. https://workandramblings.wordpress.com
    P.S. This blog was actually created in 2014…but hasn’t been kickstarted since a couple or weeks ago!
