Community Pool

The place for feedback, advice, 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.

  3. Hi y’all! My name is Sarah and I’m a freelance journalist. I recently started blogging more and would love some feedback. I just posted this fun blog about being single on Valentine’s Day (Being single isn’t as bad as it seems, guys). http://bit.ly/1o88023

    I also wrote about meeting new people and how quality should outweigh quantity. http://bit.ly/1mnYAye

    Let me know what you think! I appreciate any and all feedback. 🙂

    1. I think your blog post is good as you seem to be very straight-forward about the recent changes to your living situation. It seems like a lot of the “bad” college living experiences were actually what made that situation so unique and memorable. And there is also some humor which is always good. Maybe you could take a look at my blog:

  17. Hello everyone! I am brand new to WordPress and would love to get to know everyone! My concept for my page is a twist on a classic advice column. I call it Advice from a Self-Proclaimed Sasshole. I intend to give honest and thoughtful advice through a witty and sarcastic delivery. I welcome all suggestions to help my page get started and look forward to helping y’all as well!

  21. I would love some feedback on my blogs and on the design of my blog. I want to keep things simple and real. My mind is what will come out on my blogs. The daily prompts that I choose to use, are topics that I would love to join in the conversation with. I hope you guys find my blogs fun, real, and interesting all in one. I strive to be a real guy and need to learn to express myself more freely and regularly.

    Thanks for your willingness to read! I hope to get to know some more people here!
