New blogger? Welcome! Share a link to your first post, say hello to some 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.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

Hi Heena, I am going through your blog. One immediate thing I noticed is that immediately on landing on your blog, I didn’t know where to navigate to find your blog posts. Then I found it out eventually, but it was difficult, maybe a change in theme could help. I will comment in your posts individually to let you know what I feel about those posts.

This is a great idea. There really isn’t enough of a spotlight shone (shined? shimmered?) on children’s books.
The only issue I really ran into was that some one the links on the “books reviewed” didn’t work. I also really like the colors. They feel really appropriate for the topic.

I just had a chance to check out some of your blog. I like to start with the “about” section. I liked how you defined your blog as about “crafts, food, thriftiness, the cute and nerdy, and trying to embrace a healthier lifestyle as I conquer a host of anxieties. There will be glitter.” One thing I would suggest to make the site better would be categories. Use the ones you listed here even. Especially “glitter.” That would be a fun category for whatever you would label glitter. đŸ™‚ Just an idea.

Hello Peripeteia,
Thanks for posting.
Site: With regards to your site, it’s nicely laid out and easy to navigate through. In your “blog” page, when you write more blogs, it may be useful to cut the text down so people have to click on the blog to read it all. This will make it easier to navigate all your blogs. Also, adding some “categories” on your homepage may help readers. But overall, very nice site and pleasant to view.
Content: Really good account of your first two days of hiking. It may help to break up the blog a bit, as in “day two” could have been a mini blog itself. Your use of pictures is great. It really helps the reader imagine your story. The part which engaged me the most was when you reflected on your experience with regards to how you view life. More of this would be brilliant.
Also, I’m very jealous of your adventures. Looks amazing. Reminds me of the films “wild” and “into the wild”.
Hope this helps! đŸ™‚

Hello bexoxo,
Site: Your site is easy to navigate through and I like the “dream journal” page, very unique. You could add a “Follow count” and a “views count” for readers to see. This can be a sidebar or footer. Also, archives and categories are useful when you have more posts. Good site.
Content: The content is well written and engaging. So far, most of your content is around your life and you write it in a succinct narrative way. I would like to see more posts around your views of certain things in life. What you have learnt from your reflections. Reflexively reflecting, and I think your views and opinions on certain topics would be interesting.
Keep blogging, like it a lot đŸ™‚

Thanks! My first thought was to lay out my story through a handful of posts then go back and reflect on my experiences and how they shaped me. I will look into the count tab.

Hi Latinatraveler
I’ve just checked out your site and blogs.
Site: I love the header image and title. Very colourful and engaging to the reader to scroll down. You could add some featured images to your blogs, to make the rest of your page more visually pleasing, and it will encourage the viewer to click for more! Your bottom footer seems to be a duplication of the footer above it? Could just delete one. You could add a follow button to make it easier for visitors to follow. Also, contact details could be useful.
Content: I like your writing style. It’s laid out nicely which makes it easy to read. I would like to hear more about your experiences and cultural perspectives you’ve gained from your travels. I’m sure you’ve got some great stories! And comparison to Western and eastern differences is always interesting. I like it all though.
Good luck! Hope this helps. ☺
