Community Pool

The Community Pool is for those of you looking for input, whether on post ideas, writing, blog design and layout, or anything else. If you have a post, page, or idea you want to bounce off someone, leave a comment. Your fellow bloggers can then click through and offer input either on your site, or in the comments here (feel free to indicate which you’d prefer).

Read on for the ground rules and to leave a comment . . .

  • You’ll get the best feedback if you can be as specific as possible about what you’d like people to respond to or where you’re struggling.
  • Please keep all comments civil and constructive. We’re here to help and support one another, not to beat anyone down.
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.

  3. I’m really looking for some more feedback on my blog. I am in my last year at middle school, and am getting most of my posts from things I see at my school everyday. I would really appreciate a little bit of insight, feedback, and suggestions on what I should post and how I can make my posts more enjoyable. Thanks for your help!

    1. Hey, your topic seems quite appropriate given your age and target audience, but you do have a few grammatical errors (‘of’ instead of ‘off’, ‘there’ instead of ‘their’) which it’s important to be aware of in a final draft before posting. Besides this, I like your ideas – the only thing I can recommend is that you have more focus and detail on the point of the post. If you believe that those quotes are useless, provide alternative advice.

      As a side note, I completely understand how you feel in relation to bullying.
      My younger sister said reading the below post really helped her get her head around life after school and life after all the ‘mean kids’ so it may help 🙂 Good luck!

      1. Alright. I really appreciate the feedback! I’ll go through and look for some of those grammar errors, and probably give some distinctive advice on the post, as you’ve recommended.

        Again, thanks for the advice. Every little bit helps to make my blog a better blog.

  5. Hey Community Pool- I am having major tech issue and can’t seem to find and answer- can anyone help? When I view my blog on google chrome ( i have new Windows 8) I see that when you open the sub categories under Gallery (People and Children, Word Images etc.) and some of the photo blog titles that numbers are on top of the first letter of a word. I can’t figure it out why but not when I view the blog under Explorer- Can anyone help me? Once I get this tightened up I may ask for other input on the site but right now that is driving me mad! Help! Thanks

  6. Hi Community Pool, looking for some feedback on my blog. I don’t have a general theme or focus in terms of topics, I just write about what I feel or am doing at the time. I’m into poetry, writing songs or just putting my thoughts down on paper. I’ve categorized my site in that way, would like to know what you think and if there’s a better way of doing things so that readers can find my content easily.

    Thanks in advance! Here’s a link to my blog – http://mihirkamat.wordpress.com

  12. These include the Plain Air Fill Balloons and the Printed Air Fill Balloons.

    Try to reduce the intake of chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls
    and chemical dioxins. It is better to walk one mile four
    times a week for a month than to jog 16 miles once a
    month.
