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.

  7. Hello friendly bloggers!

    I hope everyone is well. The sun is shining here and I am looking forward to a Friday read.

    I have a background teaching linguistics and English language if I can help anyone with language barriers–idioms, grammatical nuances etc, just let me know.

    If you would like my feedback particularly, please just comment below to that effect. No need to leave your link; this causes difficulties for moderators.

      2. I really enjoyed this. So relevant to almost everyone at some point in their lives, and really nicely written. I left you a comment.

      3. I looked at your blog…well done!!! I hope you have a lot of joy and success in your blogging. You and I are both new to blogging. It is great to have access to so much help from other bloggers.
        I also have to admit, your typo was one of the highlights of my day. That is just the type of thing I would do…invite the entire wordpress community to take a look at my bog and tell me what they think.
        Loved this typo!!!
        Have a lovely weekend.

    1. Hey dear, your article is nice. Your blog looks good, if I have one advice to give you is to create an “about me” page so people understand what your blog is about. Good luck!

  27. Hello fellow bloggers.
    For almost 5 years now, I’ve toyed with the idea of having my own blog. I didn’t know if people would read my stories, whether they would like them, and how the whole thing would fare. I still don’t know. But today, I finally took the plunge.
    So here is my newborn baby blog. This particular piece is about my ex and our relationship. More so, it is about how the same thing can become drastically different in two types of scenarios – one with love and one without.
    I hope you enjoy. I welcome any constructive feedback.

  29. For now can’t cope the URL on my recent blog entitled “Time had changed” but I would love to share how my professor had taught me the secret of internal motivation from surviving in a bad situation. Instead of dwelling on my past, I maintained the same focus that he had taught myself years ago knowing that the good lord was always over my shoulder, giving me quite encouragement and strength when I needed it most. I hope you guys could check in on my blog site! ❤️😊
