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.

  6. Hello. I am a new blogger and apparel decorator here in the Sacramento, California area. I am excited about reading everyone’s thoughts on the different posts. My first post was only a week ago on June 20th. Here’s the link to my site: igteez.net.

  8. TGIF! I’m having issues with wordpress, when i publish a story it is not going to my current story, and it is not showing up in the reader? I have tried using the sticky which was helping. I just published the following and it defaulted to my third story and did not appear in the reader. any advice? I feel like i’m losing readers because of this 😦

    1. I don’t entirely understand what the issue is; could you please post your question in the Community Pool, and give us a little more detail about what is happening and what is not working as expected? (We keep this thread focused on the new folks.)

    2. Please do change the background colour, it is such a big turn-off and really strains the eyes. And do include an “About Me” page. Also, I noticed that there was another post that merely linked to the first post. Maybe you would like to delete it ? Now coming on over to the post itself, it was nice and romantic and you have expressed a suppressed emotion very beautifully. Keep up the good work.
      PS: Do check our blog about Orchha, a place in Madhya Pradesh and comment

        So, not a sir as such, and do not call me madam either, makes me feel old. 🙂

    1. Hey! I just read a couple of your blogs, really enjoyed them and have now followed you! I found your posts very thought provoking and also thought the length of them was perfect! I’d be really grateful if you could look at mine, and maybe follow if you enjoy! 🙂

  15. Hi everyone, and welcome! We’re excited to see more new faces.

    I just want to remind everyone that we moderate the comments on First Friday pretty heavily — this is really a space for new people to introduce themselves and meet one another, and for others to welcome and support them. If you’re not here to either share your first post or leave a supportive comment, please head to the Community Pool, which is where any blogger can seek feedback on any aspect of blogging. And if you’re not sure what the guidelines here are, please read the above post — or just ask!

    Happy blogging, y’all 🙂

  16. Hello. It took awhile to launch this blog, as I was scared of what my peers and mostly my writer siblings were going to say. I continue to use this blog to chronicle my awkward phase of leaving home and moving to Georgia to study Chiropractic and all the silly adventures I’ve been on. I am absolutely excited to write and read on! Thanks. 🙂

    1. Sorry I wrote a message but somehow it didn’t post.

      Hello everyone, this is my first ever blog on the internet. I think a lot but never thought about sharing what I think outside of my friends and family zone. Hope to learn a lot from other bloggers here. Njoy blogging

  21. Hi everyone! I made my first ever attempt at writing a little story and released it to the world last Friday. I would love to get any feedback or tips. Not a writer at all, so I really welcome constructive criticism on what time doing wrong and what I’m doing right (I hope there’s something). It’s a story about chance and missed opportunity and being attracted to someone from afar. Thanks so much in advance to anyone who reads it. https://brownianemotionblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/the-perfect-stranger/

    1. I found your positive message quite refreshing! If we just count the small steps we take to our larger goals as successes in and of themselves, we can kill hours of needless frustration and increase our gratitude. Nice choice of theme to accompany the text. 😀

    2. Hi! Your blog is very slick and easy to navigate. Personally, I love beauty blogs so I enjoyed reading this one! However I did notice that when you click on your ‘posts’ tab that none of your posts actually come up?? – not sure if this was just my computer, or a technological error. Its not a big deal but I guessed this was how you wanted it to look! 🙂 Good luck with it all! Hattie X
