There’s a special kind of satisfaction in seeing your progress add up.

The first post you publish. The first comment that turns into a conversation. The day you realize you’ve shown up all week—not because you had to, but because you wanted to.

Now WordPress.com has a place to celebrate those moments: Achievements.

Achievements are about making the small acts of building, publishing, reading, and connecting on WordPress.com visible.

You can find your Achievements page in your Reader profile, or go straight there:

Your Achievements page is a record that celebrates your efforts on WordPress.com, from publishing posts to joining conversations, helping you feel recognized for your ongoing activity.

You’ll see:

• Unlocked achievements for milestones you’ve already reached.
• Locked achievements you can work toward next.
• Progress indicators for achievements that build over time.
• Activity streaks for showing up day after day.

Some achievements are simple milestones. Others are a little more unexpected. We won’t spoil all the surprises, but if you enjoy small quests, secret badges, and oddly specific internet accomplishments, you may want to poke around.

Meet your activity streak

Your activity streak grows when you do things that help make WordPress.com feel alive: publish a post, leave a comment, like a post or a comment, or follow a site.

Keep it going day after day, and your streak grows with you. After seven consecutive days, you’ll earn a streak freeze. If you miss a day, your freeze will automatically protect your streak.

Tiny bit of magic. Tiny bit of mercy.

You’re in control

Your Achievements page is private by default. If you want to share it, you can make it visible to other logged-in WordPress.com users from the settings menu on the page.

You can turn off achievement notifications if you prefer to unlock things quietly; you’ll still earn achievements and maintain your activity streak, just without the alerts.

Start exploring your achievements

WordPress.com has always been about showing up: writing, reading, commenting, following, liking, sharing, and building a little corner of the web that feels like yours.

Achievements are a fun way to recognize that effort. They’re not homework. They’re not a leaderboard. They’re just a friendly nudge, a little confetti, and a reminder that the small things you do here add up.

It’s another way WordPress.com helps turn publishing and participation into a habit you can build in your own corner of the web.

So go take a look. You may have already unlocked more than you think.
