It’s time for this week’s Community Pool! Duck-shaped life savers: optional.
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?
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:
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.
- 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 smother.
- Please keep all comments civil and constructive. The idea is to have fun — it’s a pool, after all!
- If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
- No running on the deck.

Hi! I love the layout of your blog, I think it works really well with your photos. I also love your gastronomy series–you have a great eye for angles with food and those supermarket shots are excellent. My only qualm is with your photos of models. I don’t really get the concepts you have behind the shots, and the lighting leaves them looking flat. If you’re shooting outside, do it an hour before sunset to catch the “golden hour.” If you are shooting inside, make sure you have a lot of light from the front and back of the person, not above them. Otherwise, I think your framing is strong, and most people don’t have that skill. I’ll definitely be following you for more!

Hey Matthew! Your language is beautiful, and I enjoyed the movement of this short piece–like moving through someone else’s mind.
However, I’m not really sure what to latch onto. What’s the conflict? What’s the purpose? What’s it for? It doesn’t really have a story arc. I need some kind of frame to view it through if that makes sense.
I can almost imagine this better as a series of poems. Have you considered writing it in verse?

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your comment. I liked your poem about the mints – mainly because I love mints too and it seemed very romantic 🙂 you could say it transported me.
I think you’re right about my piece, it just bubbles like the kettle and settles again. The thing to do next would be to chain it into something else: I did consider having the phone ring at the end, which would perhaps initiate something else happening. That in turn could provide the means for injecting a bit more oomph into what exists at the moment.
At the end of the day, it was a bit of free writing of everything that came in to my head as I went to sleep. That probably explains the rhythms. It does seem as though it will lend itself to a conversion to version – the next time one of these tumbles out I will give that a try!
Thanks again for your comment, have a lovely Sunday!

Writing a blog is a very personal thing, I think it is difficult for people to suggest stuff as then it becomes other people’s blogs rather than your own.

What might it mean for your readers in a broad way? Your last post is about how scheduling is a nightmare; how might the university make it better?

Hi all, I have a book review blog and I’m trying to breath life into it. It gained some traction early on and then life happened and I had to step away. Now I’m back and I feel like my reviews are fluff. I’m trying to stay away from the academic review/analysis (I was an English Lit major). So, I’d love some feedback and any suggestions.
LikeLike
I think what makes a good book review is a writer with some wit. There’s got to be something that makes your review have some teeth- I think it’d be cool to read a bunch of different books within a genre or with similar themes and compare them or even group review them. I think that way you’d add some grit and prompt your readers to comment and remark on your thoughts. Typical academic reviews can be boring but sometimes classic, so perhaps switching it up will help you develop as a writer and blogger – not to mention help your blog be super well-rounded.

Hi – I think Leaf made some really good points.
I think you’re being a bit hard on yourself to call your reviews ‘fluff’ but when I read your posts I couldn’t pick up a real enthusiasm or love, or hate for the books. (Might be my fault!)
I think it’s really hard when you’ve studied English Literature to be forever fighting off the Eng Lit method of writing reviews. That’s going to sap your writing energy. There are useful tools hiding in among the dry academic method – if you polish up the ones that are useful to you, then you’ll be all set to turn your spotlight on books that you really care about, one way or the other.
Those are the books that you’ll want to spend your time on – and the ones that your readers will want to spend time reading about. And arguing/agreeing with you about.
Best of luck with your blog.
LikeLike
Thanks for the feedback. And yes that English Lit thing is hard to shake.

LikeLike
I was thinking about it again and had this idea – do you review self published books too? You might find yourself becoming a trusted voice for self published books – especially if there’s a particular type of book that you enjoy. If you enjoy the hunt for buried treasure, then you might discover some overlooked gems. And your blog readers would be grateful – you’d be like a vintage clothes shop for people who didn’t have time to sift through tables of clothes at jumble sales!
You could interview self published writers too – writers and readers are always interested in what makes people tick. Have you seen Chuck Wendig’s blog where he has guest spots for writers to talk about :5 things I learnt writing ….. http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2014/07/31/steve-vera-five-things-i-learned-writing-blood-sworn/
It would take the pressure off you, would switch things up a bit and might be an inspiration for others. Also, it would help (good) unknown writers to get read.
Just a thought.
Ad, as far as the impartial v opinion expressing reviewing – I suppose you have to think of your two different audiences. Academia v the rest of the world. We code switch in language all the time, so just imagine an audience for your blog reviews – a friend, a relative, a neighbour, the owner of your local chip shop – have them in mind and tell them why the book is, or isn’t worth cracking open.
Good luck and keep writing!

Hi Maria – you write from the heart. That’s obvious. And powerful.
I’d agree with Life Blog a bit about colour. I’d say – if there’d been a photo of your chopped off hair on the floor of the salon or the back of your head with your new, very short hair, then that would have been powerful (and would have helped me to imagine it). What do they say – a picture’s worth a thousand words?
I was looking at Paris Pinched’s post about flea markets here http://parispinched.com/2014/07/15/bitten-by-the-flea-market-bug-montreuil-the-paris-market-where-you-can-buy-vintage-and-designer-clothes-for-a-euro/ and thinking how perfectly her photos illustrated things. Even though they’re not ‘arty’ photos, they’re helpful photos.
Your words are certainly enough, but some pictures might help readers, especially those who’ve never been to Brazil, to be with you as you write.
All good luck with your blog.
