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).

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.

  1. Hello. I’m doing “Blogging: Branding and growth,” one of the self-guided courses at Blogging U. Today is “Day 3: Get Read All Over,” where we are reminded to make sure our site is responsive.

    I’d appreciate some eyeballs on the site from different systems, just to know how it looks. I can view it on a Windows 10 computer, as well as on an iPad and an iPhone. I don’t have access to other systems, tablets or phones, so any info users can provide on how it flows and looks on Kindles, Androids, and the like would be would be most appreciated.

    Happy to return the favor on my devices as well, if you’re interested.

      1. Thank you for taking a look. That’s one of our favorite salads. I just bought five fresh mangoes today and am so looking forward to hitting that one again. I notice you posted a link to your site. What would you like me to look for there?
