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?
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.

I really liked your posts – especially about 16 year olds not being allowed to vote. I have followed your blog. One thing I would maybe suggest is to try to add in some more arguments which are evidence-based rather than just anecdotal/your opinion.

Hi all. I’ve started dabbling with black and white photography, but still like color too. In a recent post, I’ve included some of both, including a couple shots shown in both B/W and color. Please feel free to weigh in: which is better?

As one photographer to another I think you already know the answer I’m going to say? Black & White is always better đŸ™‚ The absence of colour, especially in particular image’s bring’s out much more feeling’s from the photograph. I’ve always found colour more a distraction than a useful tool in photography.
That being said I like the colour images of yours too.

As an amateur photographer, I must say that your work is inspiring. Sometimes I get a feeling to give up on it but blogs like yours definitely help me to want to continue. So thank you. I will be giving you a follow!
As for your question, I personally like both. I believe some of your shots were meant to be black and white, but some were meant for color. Like for example the pictures of the waves and ocean you took looks best with color because it brings out the vibrant beauty of it. While the sand one and the debris of a tree looks very good in black and white because it provokes a specific mood that is fitting to the image.

I’m still quite an amateur with the whole traveling thing but it’s something I want to definitely do for the rest of my life. If you could take a look at my blog as well, that would be super appreciated!
I look forward to seeing more of your work đŸ™‚ Cheers!

hey gang,
I am currently on my third day as a blogger. I am a high school math teacher who is working on a PhD in psychology. I have started a blog that combines Jungian Dream Work and teaching high school math. My first blog was about who I am and the second is about some experimental teaching. I am planning on doing one on some deeper psychological stuff. Could someone take a look and maybe tell me a good direction to take on this, like more psychological, more teaching philosophy or more practical, etc. Thanks in advance.

Your blog is very beautiful and inviting and your posts are thought provoking. The only thing I suggest you change is your statement regarding people making comments. I’d suggest you take off No Need To Fill Out The Information Below/ and then say something that welcomes comments.

Hi, just started this blog – wondered if anyone has any feedback on layout? Or tips on how to keep readers interested in other blogposts?
My most successful blogpost was about sexism in science, I’d love to have some feedback. đŸ™‚

Hey …i checked your blog … it is good enriched with good stuff… but you must emphasis on fonts and typing .. like margins in lines or word per line … it is looking a bit congested .. i hope it will help you /..

Hello @essentialvitaminsea . I like your blog. Try looking for a layout that fits best for your pictures. Go to themes and click free themes and choose from there or just type colors, pictures, menu bars, and backgrounds. Whatever fits you will fits your readers. Pictures are a big one and a colorful background to get the readers attention lol. Oh and one more thing try making your posts shorter on the front page so when they click on it they can see the full post. Remember this is your blog you can do what you can to it.
Hope this helps.
Happy Blogging!!!
