Community Pool

The Community Pool is for those of you looking for feedback, 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.

TIP: 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.

  • 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. If you simply leave a link to your blog, it’s likely to be overlooked.
  • 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.
  • No running on the deck.

  6. I have recently started my first blog on parenting. It’s meant to be light, playful and humorous. Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

  12. Hey guys,
    I just started a blog a couple days ago and I need some followers…or really any interaction with other blogs/bloggers. I’d love it if you all went and checked out my blog:

  13. Hi! My name is Dawn. I have been blogging for a very short time, and don’t really have a depth of experience in this. I guess what I am struggling with is this – do my words touch the heart of the reader? My passion for writing is to reach people, touch lives, and effect change. My writing is centered around weaving my story as Faith in Christ and my journey in recovery. I would love some feedback! Thank You! https://jesusgirl7774.wordpress.com/

  16. Good afternoon! I have a couple of active blogs, one that I mostly ignore that gets a reasonable amount of traffic and one on which I have a continuing story that gets inconsistent hits. I’m writing a novel (who isn’t?) and would like to build a following over the next few months. Just last week I began publicizing each post to Facebook and Twitter. Here’s a recent post – I would appreciate any feedback or advice for gaining an audience.

    The other rarely updated blog is dogsandbikes.com, which gets visits though I go weeks or months between posts…

    Many thanks!

Also i need to contact one of admin outside of this forum for an issue I’m having, (re: blogging) is that possible?

    1. Hi — your site is actually not hosted on WordPress.com, so these issues probably need to be addressed with your own host. For more information and resources on how to get support for a self-hosted WordPress-powered site, you should try this site: http://wordpress.org/support/

  20. Can you guys look at my posts and tell me what you think? It’s awkward college stories and my personal thoughts that women I feel have universally thought as well. Thank you!

  21. Does anyone else have a blog devoted to short stories? I am trying to get in the habit of writing more short stories, and I wanted to see what work other people are doing in that realm. Post links below.

      1. I think that would be awesome. I haven’t shared any on WordPress, so I would be interested in seeing how other people do that on their blogs.
