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.

    1. Really nice posts. Only thing I would say is that all your posts are showing the full post on your homepage. Maybe find a theme that has a short intro of the post and then you click for the full post. Makes it easier for people to find different posts 👍🏻

    2. Welcome on board. You many want to put your posts in categories so as time goes along, people can choose what group of posts to read. I note you have Travel, Family, Food and Pet in your blog title. Is that where you’re heading? MY and NZ are both great countries, so you may want to put one of your lovely photos as the blog photo instead of using the standard one.

      Last and not the least, my latest post is on blogging tips as I’ve just reached my first year. You may find it useful.

      All the best.

    2. Great start. As frompillartoposts said you posts looks a bit odd without featured images, but your page background does have quite a lot images, I think it would look a lot better if you switched it around,

      Feel free to check out my latest post on blogging tips as well. Good luck!

  9. I’m really new and am all over the place learning WordPress. I am enjoying reading here and learning and seeing all the wonderful variety of blogs on here to look at. Could anyone give me some honest feedback on my blog? http://coffeegal1.com thanks in advance. I thought i did this the other day, but posted an old one page blog by mistake that was 4 years old. 😞

      1. Really great post. Couldn’t agree more. When you use your device for something productive it can be good using it too. I use mine a lot for learning languages and reading 😁👍🏻 I look forward to reading more of your posts!
