Community Pool

The place for advice, feedback, and friendly blogging chatter.

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!
  • 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!
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
  • No running on the deck.

  4. The reason why some people are afraid of letting themselves be seen even just for a little while is because it’s innate for everybody to just step on someone’s personal space. We all have that potential, but of course, with different intentions. (:

  6. “Last night I watched the latest Spielberg magic called the “Bridge of Spies” spun out of a political drama staged during the cold war with that quintessential humanising touch that only Spielberg can nail – I mean the man made you cry for an alien before, what are Russians in comparison?!”

  10. Hello everybody! I’ve just made some big design changes to my blog and am also changing the structure of my posts as I feel it’s getting a bit boring. I would welcome your feedback! Thanks, Sean!

  13. Hey Everyone

    I’m completely new to the world of blogging as reader and a writer. I’ve recently started a travel-log which is my musings on the world as I experience it. My question/feedback request is to do with the mix in the posts. I have blog posts which are about 5-600 words in length and highlights from airports, running and moment in time observations, which have very little text. I set it up that way to share experiences but now that I have a few followers I realise that even empty-ish photo posts will get sent to them. Does it make sense to keep as one blog or separate out ?

    Observations and insights on “blog etiquette” (if there is such a thing) appreciated .. Thanks !

  14. Hey everyone! After a brief interlude (in which I blame not being able to blog at work due to, you know, actual work) Society Camp, a blog where discuss all the annoying and awful things people do, is back with another post. Have gotten some great feedback on my blog’s content and made some great connections here, so sharing to meet some more of you. The language is at times, colorful…a warning for the more gentle mannered bloggers among us. Stop by for a visit, I’ll do the same for you. Cheers!
