Community Pool

The place for feedback, advice, and friendly blogging chatter.

Have you just published a new post and are dying for some feedback? Did you recently start your blog and could use some layout or design advice from your more seasoned peers?

The Community Pool is for peer feedback and advice. Looking for more specific information? Check out some of these resources:

Tap into the wisdom of The Daily Post blogging community and leave your question here in the comments. Others can then click through and offer input either on your site, or in the comments here (feel free to indicate which you’d prefer).

To help us make the Community Pool a productive space for discussion, here are some tips you might find useful:

  • While you’re not required to, we encourage everyone who requests feedback to also reply to at least one or two other bloggers who need some help. Spread the love!
  • The Community Pool comments section can get quite big — and starting duplicate threads doesn’t help. Thanks for not posting the same question more than once!
  • If you’re looking for quality feedback, be as specific as you can. Questions about a particular post tend to draw more comments than ones about entire blogs. Questions about specific design elements are more likely to be answered than ones asking for general layout advice.
  • We discourage leaving links without a more substantive message or question. These are often overlooked by other bloggers, and we frequently remove them to make the comment reading experience smoother.
  • Please keep all comments civil and constructive. The idea is to have fun — it’s a pool, after all!
  • To keep from losing your place in the comment thread while you visit others’ blogs, right-click on a link to open it in a new tab or window.
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
  • No running on the deck.

    2. I enjoyed your most recent post. It was heartfelt, helpful, and based on Scripture. Some things to consider as you begin to post more are how to organize the posts and adding an About page. It is helpful to readers to see an About page that states the purpose of your blog. On organizing, you might want to establish some categories, then assign each post to one of the categories. Another option is to limit the number of posts on your Home page and let the others go to the archive. You can do this in Settings. https://gracelead.co

  4. Hi everyone! I’m new here (new as in 3 hours ago!), and I would love to make blogger friends. I only have one post up now, but there will be more! I plan on talking about life, music, and celebrities..and getting interviews with people I find interesting! Hope to talk to some of you!

    1. Jenn, you are off to a good start. You write well. “I enjoy long walks to the fridge,” made me laugh. I hope your humor continues to shine through on future posts. Overall, your site looks good. It’s easy to navigate, you have your About page in place, and you even have Tags on your first post. Well done. https://gracelead.co
