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.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

It looks like you have a lot of place holder text you might want to clean up. I’d strongly suggest filling out your About page for people that stop by wanting to know what your blog is about. Other than that, it looks pretty good!

One thing I noticed — you’re using a lot of tags. The WordPress.com Reader actually filters out posts that use more than 15 tags and categories (combined) as an anti-spam measure, so using this many tags actually makes it harder for folks to find your posts, which is sad! If you cut your tags down to the most relevant, you’ll actually draw more readers.
Welcome!

Hi Michelle. Speaking of tags and categories, is there a page with more information about them both, and how to use them correctly? I am still getting my head around them and need to know more please!
LikeLiked by 3 people
This might help:
Tags help readers find your blog.
Categories help people already on your blog find specific things on your blog.
If you wrote a post about your favorite movies, you might give it the tag “movies” so people searching for posts about movies in the Reader can find you. Then, you might give it categories like “Comedy” and “Action” so the people already on your blog who are looking for specific kinds of posts can find it.
Some folks use both, some only use one or the other — it’s up to you.
Make sense?

I literally have no idea where to start! I have always wanted to write but struggle to even find an opening sentence that doesn’t make me cringe. I’ve sat here for almost 10 minutes trying to get even these insignificant thoughts down! I worry I will regret what’s written or be embarrassed if someone I know reads something I’ve written – hence the anonymous blog! But I have come to the realisation that life is too short to be held up by fears, So here’s it is…………The random, strange and sometimes confused ramblings of a Mama!
