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.

Hi friends!
I have recently started blogging more often and I really want to meet other amazing blogging friends! I write about everything here and there, fashion, travel, beauty and just opinions about life in general through my experience.
I just posted about my recent travel trip and would really love some feedback on it! It was my first time writing about my travel so any advices will help!
I would also love it if you could give me some general advices on how I can gain more views with my posts cuz it sucks when sometimes I spend so much time writing it and getting no views for it. Anyway, thank you again friends! 🙂

Hell everyone, I just discovered this platform and it sounds perfect. I am quite new to the blogging world and have just published a post about a film. I would like to have your feedback on the same.
I watched this film called Court a few days ago and have written a commentary, opinion piece on it and NOT a review. Let me know what you think? Is it okay to reveal the kind of story details I have revealed ? Just let me know 🙂

Hell there, I think you have managed to convey what you wanted to in this simple poem. And that is what mattes most of the time. I loved the line ‘any way you can come back?’ I also think it was a sound decision to not edit it and retain the rawness of the poem . Keep it up.
And RIP to your grandfather 😦

The best way to get followers is to comment and follow on other peoples blogs. Usually try to stick with those that you are truly interested in reading. Also get an account through various social networks such as Facebook, twitter, and google etc. Linkys are also a great way to get new readers to your blog.

I am not sure the answer to that question.. Every theme I have ever had has had a side bar for widgets and I always place my follow button towards the top. Did you choose that theme because you plan to have a lot of media on your site?

Hi Tracey. I do not have Fibromyalgia myself, but a whole host of other conditions. It’s always good to find pages like yours, which cover medical conditions that aim to help people cope with their symptoms & feelings. So it looks a perfectly good blog to me! I also looked at the other page that pops up when I clicked on your name & that looks to be very well established, so no comments needed there. But I feel sure that your new page, will do just as well as this one. I have only just started blogging myself https://puttingmyselfdown.wordpress.com & have 3 posts so far & an awful lack of readers, mind you, this is only my second week, so I hope that all improves eventually. Please feel free to peruse my feeble offerings & add any comments if you wish. Thanks & good luck, Gilbo.

Thank you so much for giving my blogs the once over and for your comments, they are much appreciated. I visited your blog and considering you have only just started you have certainly been busy. I loved your Mo – bile article, it made me chuckle as I remember using the old, faithful phone box. My only comments would be to maybe complete your ‘About’ tab as this was the first thing I clicked and just got the generic wording, so maybe something for you to think about. Other than that, maybe just a few more of those lovely photos, show those kids what a real phone looked like 😊
I understand that if we follow blogs it is supposed to help with our traffic, I don’t know but I will be happy to follow you and maybe you can repay the favour. Good luck with everything and thanks again.
