"A first post" -- makes sense or not?
Solution 1:
I agree with your first-poster. Both are possible.
I made a first post on my blog today.
Other people make first posts on their respective blogs too.
I made the first post on my blog today.
This one is fine as well; now the implicit context is only my blog.
I made my first post on my blog today.
This is possible, since it is my first post on this blog; but it is a bit awkward, because you have my twice. You could use My First Post as a title, though.
Solution 2:
Sounds fine to me, for the reasons given.
We have a first step, a first word, a first kiss, etc.
