Community Pool

Looking for some blogging advice? You’re in the right place.

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 smoother.
  • 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.

  2. Hello my fellow blogging bloggers my blog is:
    http://sdasaniwrites.wordpress.com
    I’ve just started to write my blog about Cancer/chemo tips (I’ve just beaten Cancer, yay!) as well as charity work, travelling around the world and my second life at the age of 26 :)! I would love for you guys to follow me and/or give me some feedback (it’s all new to me) I’m trying hard to work on the theme and I have lots more that need to go up! I know you all don’t know me but would love for some constructive feedback. My blog again is sdasaniwrites.wordpress.com. Thank you all. Yours truly, S.Dasani. xxxx

    1. I really liked birthday of the dead, amaagyei – it felt real and folksy at the beginning, then I laughed and felt pain at the memories of the dad. I wanted to read more.

  5. Morning fellow writers and happy Friday to you all!

    I’ve been blogging for only a few months & absolutely love it but would welcome comments/feedback on things people think I’m missing a trick on or could do better with. This is the first time I’ve shared like this and there are so many great blogs on here I’d appreciate your thoughts, especially on how to get more followers & greater interaction with them.

    This is my most recent post; I’m based in London but just roadtripped down the West Coast of America hence the content being US based!

  22. I’m trying to shift gears and move to being at least semi-serious about my blog, which is me writing about anything that comes to mind. I’d appreciate some feedback on my latest post, and about the layout as well, re: tidyness, widgets and such. Thanks in advance!

    Also, if I use pictures from sites that aren’t the original source, do I credit both websites, the original or the site I found it on?
