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.

  1. Hi people, I was the half day busy with setting up a new theme, change some things here and there and now I reached the finish line with it. I still have to edit some of the pages (ESC 1956-2009) but the rest is like it should be. What do you think, do you have some seconds to check it out and give your feedback – that would be awesome!

    1. Hi- I really thought your blog was cool. I loved all the pictures and the colors that you chose. I especially liked the recipe page that you had! 🙂

  9. I need help with how to add an audio mp3 to my blog through ‘add media’ in wordpress options. MP3 brings up an error. What other audio media type can be used?

  12. It’s really hard for me to make time to update and improve my blog and get more readers. I’ve only just figured out that I should and can schedule posts… Im wondering does anyone have any advice for people who are really busy and occupied by lots of other things other than their blog? What kind of things do you do to enhance and/or promote your blog when you’re busy? How do you plan and make time? Ive only been here for 4 months and I haven’t spent as much time trying to figure this all out and I haven’t been writing as frequently as I wish… I really do want to share my thoughts and experiences and everything though. I write every single day in my own journal but obviously that’s different that posting things in public. Btw im still a student and school takes up a lot of my time/energy/effort/mental tolerance haha. Thanks in advance!!
