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:
- Learn, a series of step-by-step tutorials for those just starting out.
- All our posts on building an audience and growing your traffic.
- If you’re stuck for inspiration, here are our Daily Prompts and other ideas for writing topics.
- A roundup of posts on blogging etiquette.
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).
Looking for free, self-guided courses to help you get started with your blog (or revive a dormant one)? Check out our current offerings at Blogging U.
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.

It is a button you can put on your blog. If people click on it and subscribe they will receive notifications in their email of new posts. So it is just a way to notify your followers of new content. Seems like a win/win to me especially for those who may not have wordpress accounts or for whatever reason don’t want to follow you via email.

So how is it different from a simple email sign up button? I don’t quite understand..
LikeLiked by 2 people
It is only a little different. The updates appear in your email in a different place. They are typically sent to a folder and can be accessed whenever you want rather than receiving an actual email. Is it technically that different than receiving a notification via email? no it is just different but if that is how your readers want to access your blog you wouldn’t want to isolate them. many people hate getting spammed with hundreds of emails. So the RSS notification pops up in a tidy little folder that can be accessed whenever the reader has time without getting annoyed by an email. but, the end result is the same.

If you just started and they are growing slowly there are a lot of things that you can do to gain more followers. I still don’t have many but, they are growing and to be honest quality is better than quantity. I’d rather have people that are actually going to read what I write then people who are just going to follow me to get a follow.
Anyways collaborate with other bloggers, post in community pool, add tags and categories to your posts, talk to other bloggers, and basically promote yourself. Like this:

I have had the best luck finding communities in a few ways. I have found a number through the community pool here and their attached site. (You have to visit it regularly. And comment a lot. I have also followed a lot of blogs that either have content similar to mine or just content that is interesting to me in general because the people that write them are also interesting. By following people and interacting on their sites regularly they often follow you back. Also, I have entered in to multiple writing, photography, and blog challenges. in doing so your page links to other people’s pages that have a lot of followers. One ends up connecting with multiple interesting people each time. It, to be honest, is a much slower process that I originally thought. It takes a lot of work but it is worth it one follower and cool blog at a time.

The Discover section is good because you can read posts that interest you and then comment. I have gotten some followers that way though I’m really just now becoming an active participant on WordPress. When you comment be true to your viewpoint so likeminded individuals will check out your blog and likely give you a follow.
Tags are your next best option. I haven’t yet gone to your blog but I also believe certain types of writing gets more views on here. Political/social, art (poetry, short stories), etc. Once I started making my posts more personal I have increased my readership though my follows are slow to increase.
On the app, as mentioned below, you can go to the reader and list by topic. It will give you the option to list “Discover”, “Blogs You Follow”, “Posts you like” and then underneath are the topics/tags you can list by. Add as many tags as you like.

I have just been wanting to find something other than the Discover page because it seems to have only a few posts per day, I’m a bit of an avid reader and really trying to get involved with other bloggers. Of course I’d love to have more followers to share my writings with and have discussion, but a huge part of it is wanting to experience other people. I will definitely try searching out the tags, I’ve not tried that yet (misunderstood what that part of the Discover page was).
I try to be active in commenting those who I do follow, but a part of it is honestly along the same lines of what I’ve experienced in my lack of creative flow over the past several years – I simply just don’t have anything to say. Working on it though! Thank you for taking time to help 🙂

Hello everyone,
My blog is a women’s/men’s fashion blog, but I tend to attract more women than men although I upload content for both. Can I please get some feedback of what I need to do. https://xixibycierra.com/2016/04/28/untitled-2#more-132

I’m not expert on this but it popped into my head that you’re displaying them men’s clothing like one would see women’s clothing displayed in a women’s fashion magazine. I would check some male oriented fashion magazines and/or blogs and see how they display their fashion. I am only aware of one male fashion blogger and the clothes are always displayed on someone.
Maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks for the feedback. I believe you’re absolutely right. Men probably would get a better idea of the clothing style/fit if I had Men on my blog actually wearing the clothing vs. just looking at the clothes.

I’ve been blogging regularly since late last year and growing slowly. Any advice on how to spruce it up or make it more appealing? Any elements missing?

Just gave you a follow. I am also a photographer and you have some interesting stuff here. I love your door shots. And I love that you write so much about your photos and give the lens and information behind each photo. Keep up the good work.
I would also suggest, that in the beginning, you participate in as many photo challenges as possible. It will end up bringing your page in front of a lot of readers and will likely result in some additional followers. (If that is what you are looking for.)
I look forward to seeing your photos in the future. Best of luck to you.

Well, when I am lazy I use the iPhone but when I mean business I use the Nikon D800. I have a good wide angle lens, a portrait lens, and a macro that is fun to play with.

Hello everyone, I have a new post that is a bit different and I would really appreciate it if you would check it out.
It is about how a person can see themselves as the worst person in the world, but when they sit and write knowing that no one can see them, their words turn beautiful.
Thank you 🙂

You’re right, one of the best things about blogging is people can present what they like of themselves and put their best selves forward! Hopefully getting a good reaction will lead to the blogger having more confidence in themselves if they doubt themselves. Have a good day 🙂
