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.

  2. Happy Friday!
    I wrote a personal reflective piece for this Friday…something I normally don’t do because I tend to save Friday’s for my sassy side. Let me know what you guys think and if you agree with my observations about the very best people…
    click the link below to see what I’m referring to! 🙂

  6. Midwest Sabbath’s at our house included “Sunday afternoon drives,” which were aimless wanderings through the countryside, up and down long lost lanes, listening to the memories of my Daddy. I’m hellbent on documenting those musings and rememberings through my Dad’s eyes. I’m telling all his stories….and Lawsy, he’s got a barrel full! Comments always welcome!

  7. Hello one and all!

    Gather round, gather round. Tell me your RPG woes. What’s bothering you on your quest? What? A boss?

    Yup, we’ve all been there. Our quest has been put to a full stop by an unbeatable boss monster. But never fear; there are 5 main tips to gaining victory, and I’ve got them all right here.

    Don’t think you can beat the boss? Think again!

  11. Ok, I need opinions. I love how my blog is coming along. It’s a healthy living blog. I post general healthy living posts in the blog section. I post recipes on pages. So, for those following my blog, they are only notified when I post a new blog post. Can I have notifications sent out for new pages? Or, is there an easy way to convert the pages into blog posts, but still somehow keeping the recipes separate. So my blog is http://www.mireillesjourneytohealth.com and I would really appreciate ideas.

  14. Hi,

    My name is Afoali and I recently decided to start blogging. I needed a way to share my opinion on issues around me. I would really appreciate it if you took a look at it and just gave me some feedback on my first post.

    Is it clear?
    What do you think about the layout?
    Did it make you want to read future posts?
    What could I do to improve it?

    It would be great to get some advice from people that have more experience with blogs that I do.

    When you get the chance, here is the link.

    Thank you.
