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! We tend to delete duplicate comments asking for feedback on the same post.
  • 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!
  • When leaving comments, please remember not to add your blog’s url as your signature. It’s kinda spammy: after all, your handle links directly to your blog.
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
  • No running on the deck.

  3. Hi all. I’ve recently re-opened my technology blog and would love to hear what people think. Made changes to new logo and now have a new post schedule.

    The link is technoteamblog.wordpress.com if anybody wants to go and take a look.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    1. Wow, this is beautiful. I wish I knew more about poetry to be able to give you some true constructive criticism, because I think that’s what you’re looking for, but let me say, if English is your 4th language, you put many people who can claim it as their first to shame. The emotion you evoke is powerful and the rhythm flows smoothly. It was compelling.

  8. I’ve found something odd that perhaps you all could help me figure out. Lately, my blog, https://thistlehammertransmutational.wordpress.com/, has been getting a great deal more likes than it has been getting views. Does anyone have any guesses as to why that could be? My theories are that it’s due either to friends liking my posts without reading as a sign of support or perhaps visitors with adblockers don’t register in my analytics. Are there other possibilities? Has anyone else had similar discrepancies in their visitor data?

    Thanks,
    Alexander

  10. Good Evening!

    Hope everyone is doing well and relax around these hours. I would like talk about myself but that would be selfish. Im looking to build personal relationships on here with other bloggers alike looking for advice or ideas on there recent exposures. Feel free to send me something to check out. I won’t mind. I’ll review anything alike but im really into 110% art culture and indie music.

  12. Morning seasoned bloggers,

    I am a newbie at this blogging and I would love your feedback on the design, the feel and any constructive criticism. It doesn’t have to be what I want to hear but please be as brutally honest as possible.

    My blog is afrojunkie87.wordpress.com.

    Thank you for your kind words in advance.

  13. Hello you lovely fellow bloggers!

    I recently published my travel blog online. I am dying to get some feedback on it, and what better way to do this than from other bloggers.

    I am still new to this, however, I am very committed and I intend to write about my current stay in Berlin but also previous stays in London and Dublin (more info about this on the blog).

    I would highly appreciate feedback on my web design and the two posts online. And of course, if you have other things to comment on 🙂

    My blog is to find here: http://wanderlustbecomingatraveler.com/

    Happy Monday to you all.

    xo P!
