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?

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. Hey you guys! Would you mind checking out my photography blog? I’m just wondering if the layout works or does not work with my photos. (And also, y’know, are my photos any good? :D)

  4. Hey guys!
    My finals have started and they’re making my blog less of a priority, which sucks. Inspire me, please!
    Suggestions and constructive criticism would be much appreciated. One point my friend made was that a couple of my posts seemed repetitive.. Is that true?
    Thanks so much and hope you have a great week 🙂

  10. Hi everyone! I’m a student working to find potential bone marrow donors for blood cancer patients. We have recruited over 100 donors so far, and are looking for more willing donors! We have participated in many events to present our organization. Please visit our site to learn more!

  11. Hey guys! I’d started my blog a few months ago but it hasn’t gotten much attention from non-acquaintances. I haven’t got the sort or volume of feedback I’ve been hoping for, so if you could check it out, that would be real helpful. Constructive criticism and suggestions will be much appreciated.
    My blog has a mix of types of posts- some are attempted humour whereas some are deep and thoughtful.
    Thank you so much and I’d love to take a look at your blogs too if you want me to!

  13. Hi everyone, I’m currently taking a digital education class and, surprise, surprise, I was asked to create a blog! The semester ends soon, but I’d really value some initial feedback. Overall, I’m curious about the Daily Post’s thoughts on design, general thoughts on content and recommendations to boost the SEO.

    Any/all feedback is welcome!

    Thanks in advance!

  17. Hi everyone, happy Monday!

    I posted a new piece on my experiences with Anxiety and how I’ve learned to rewire my brain to process things healthily without seeking mind wrecking prescriptions. I feel like anxiety is such a huge problem in our culture with all the directions we stretch ourselves, and the “easiest” option we have is to take a pill to mask it, but not cure it. I’m curious if my post is relatable and if it flows well. Also, if you are willing to try the simple exercise I would love feedback on that as well!

    Constructive criticism welcome, I’ll return the favor! 🙂

    Thank you!!
