Community Pool

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.

    1. Hi!
      -Firstly, I really like the layout – gorgeous banner picture and smooth look.
      -The blog subject is nice, I can imagine reading your posts to unwind on a break from work – keep at it!
      -You have some grammar issues and typos. I think some of these may have been picked up if you had put it through a word processor spellcheck, but they aren’t so good with things like over-use of commas, which you suffer from here and there.
      -The sentances are sometimes too long, and sometimes too punctuated by commas. The best way to get your sentance flow correct is to read your post aloud – when you do this it will seem really obvious where there is too much punctuation or not enough. Keep up the good work!

  4. Hey guys, I’ve just finished writing an article about the blue-and-black-or-white-and-gold dress that recently smashed the Internet! Give it a chance! Thank you!
