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.

I would really love some feedback on my new piece. It felt like it took some courage to share, but I have gotten little response to it. I would love to know how other perceive my perspective. It’s about seeing the world through my less than perfect eyes.

I really like this piece. It was written really well, and it portrays the issue of discrimination from a unique angle. Great work!

I recently posted a blog that included pasted comments from Facebook. I did this because there are creative questions that people will answer on Facebook that I don’t see being answered on blog posts–haven’t figured that out yet.
My question is there a way to paste comments from Facebook so the Facebook template carries over? All I have now is text and pictures that are missing the Facebook formatting, as seen here: http://wp.me/p4jR6N-cI.

I have a rather simple question that I was polling my household about earlier. After coming to a standstill with an even divide, I’d like to hear the opinions of others and perhaps find my tie breaker.
In each of my weekly blogs, I attempt to include one photograph. I’m a visual person. Which do you find more aesthetically pleasing: A photograph placed at the beginning of an entry or at the end? (Or in the middle of the mix, lose it at all together, etc. –I’m open to suggestions!)
