The place for advice, feedback, and friendly blogging chatter.
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.

Hello bloggers!
It is my first week of blogging and I would love some honest critique.
My post is about a personal journey that I am to improve my life through the law of attraction and practicing gratitude.
The aim is to transform all of my negative energy into positive and to hopefully inspire others to do the same.
If anyone finds this of interest please have a read or if you know of any blogs surrounding the subject I would love you to share them with me!
Here’s the link to my blog –

I’m almost certainly the lone wolf to say this but in my experience with community pool, bloggers aren’t at all interested in feedback on their writing. Rather, they just want someone to read their blog and/or bask in amateurish praises and empty platitudes. Silly and sad.

India, this is a truly beautiful blog. It is neat and looks lovely.
I find your poetry utterly stunning. Your thoughts are mature and you present them in a vivid flow of words. And yes, it is neat. That is one of the many best things in your writing.
About page of your blog is smart. Instead of telling about yourself, you speak about what you believe in. “Our beliefs define us the best.” And you tell that without using words. You just prove it.
Now, let me be honest dear. I am not very experienced in the universe of blogging. You most certainly overrate me.:-) No, complains though;-)
Otherwise, I am looking forward to enjoy reading your art.
Thank you for sharing, India. Keep writing.

I just noticed after I replied to you, that you don’t have a display image for your blog. That image is important because it shows as thumbnail when someone bookmarks your site.

I like the look. I think it’s clean and pretty, it reminds me of spring for some reason :p The only thing I found is that I have a harder time reading things when they’re all centered, just because it’s not the normal structure. However I think having it centered is a good choice for the look of your blog, so in the long run I think it might be better and it’s probably only a personal hangup anyway.
