Community Pool

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

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. I’m new to the blogging world and so far only have one post. I prefer to write fictional short stories above everything else, but I’m wonder if writing some opinion pieces would draw more attention. I aspire to be a screenwriter and started this blog to showcase my talent and ideas. So I am wondering if I should continue posting short stories, go more the current event route or if I could due a mix of both. If I should pick a certain lane and stick with it or if it is okay to be a mixed bag. Thank you for your feedback!

  4. Happy hello to everyone!
    I’ve been redesigning the layout of my blog-safe-place (must be spring?) with the addition of several new posts! Would love the looks & any positive feedback you may feel inspired to offer. Just a few thoughts would do too…
    hugs & blessings!
