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.

Hello everyone!
I just started my first beauty blog and I am having a horrible time formatting my posts. My main question is where do most of your new readers come from? My issue is that what my post looks like on my page formats completely different in reader. In reader it just looks horrible, and I was thinking of redoing my post because of it. But it looks amazing on my actual site.
So my question is, should I focus my blog posts to look better in reader or on my actual site?
Thank you so much!

Hi guys, I wondered if any of you would take a look at my latest post on my photography blog: anotherlifeinlondon.wordpress.com
I mainly post film photography and am looking for some feedback/creative criticism as I am relatively new to it. Thanks!

Hello there, I hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful summer now 🙂 I’ve just started blogging in February and am quite new to this all. I came across many people mentioning backups of their posts. I’ve researched for a long time but couldn’t find anything easy enough to work with wordpress.com, the online program. I can’t install the plugins. The other suggested back up programs are not free or don’t work 😦 Then I read about the blogs being backuped automatically. Is that so – would my blog posts all be backuped automatically while writing them? Is there a way to make print versions of them and keep them separatedly as well, like, in a book or so? I’d be happy about any advice I’d get! Thank you, sincerely ❤

Printing and making them into a book sounds cool, but that would probably take a lot of paper and ink since your posts are usually long (nice writing btw!). As far as backups, I’ve always felt secure using wordpress.com.

Thank you very much Arianna for your comment! Does it mean, you have no backup feature at all? Yes, I know. It would be so cool if you could somehow have them all printed into a book, like those photobooks but a blogbook or such 😉 Thank you for your compliment as well – it means a lot to me!!! ❤
