Community Pool

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

The Community Pool is now closed for the holidays! It will reopen (in a new post) on January 4, 2016. Happy new year!

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. Hi. 4 years ago I lost over 12 stone and transformed my life. It wasn’t through pills or by an op; I achieved it on my own. Having recently gained just over a stone (ill health) I am in the process of dieting once more. I’m getting married next year and want to be as fit as possible. My blog is charting my new weight loss plus giving an insight into the life of someone who has been morbidly obese. There’s help on portion control, foods to eat etc. I hope to inspire others who want to lose weight. https://teeheeheemee.wordpress.com/2015/12/23/bbc-news-weight-loss-surgery-cuts-risk-of-diabetes-and-heart-attacks/ was my post from yesterday responding to calls to offer more gastric band surgery to prevent diabetes. I’d really like any help and please feel free to share with anyone who might need a bit of motivation in the new year!
