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?

Did you just start blogging and you’re not sure how to get going? Has your blog been dormant for a while but you’d like to give it a jolt of life? Join our free Blogging 101 course (or any of our other offerings at Blogging U.).

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.

  1. I am also new to blogging and would like some feedback as to where I go from here. The idea of the blog was to hear from others who had experienced similar things. There must be lots of ex pats with good, bad and funny stories to tell, or Is the subject too dreary. What can I do to attract others to the sight?

  2. So, I’ve never done this before. I just created a blog to vent out some personal issues that have been going on lately. I would really love it if you could check out my blog. Sorry for taking up your time.

  7. Hello! I’ve made a new blog, related to art, and it would be great if I could get some feedback! 😀
    My blog is basically just all the art stuff I’ve been working on, lately. I am in 12th grade, at the moment. I am planning on taking up Fine Art as my course, in college, and I would love to get some feedback.
    🙂

  14. Hi All,
    I am new to this blogging thing, and I am not sure I have the set up completely right. I have, to create different places for my posts to go, set up categories – is this the right way to do it?
    I would also LOVE some feedback on my blog and how you guys think I am doing, and any pointers – feeling a little overwhelmed. Any advice would be so appreciated.
