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.

Hey,
I liked the way your blog is, the images and the events category.
If you can add the time taken or distance from one place to another or railway station to that particular place in the itineraries on your blog. Plus the fee or charges if applicable; If you’ll include these things it will be more handy for the travelers 🙂
Thanks,

Hey everyone!
My first time at the community pool, after taking a break from blogging for the birth of my son I just recently got back into it with a more polished vision behind what I want to blog about, but I’m still worried that it’s too general.
I would love your opinion as to whether I should narrow my focus more or not!
Thank you!

I really like the layout of your site – beautiful photos which really makes me want to stay and navigate. One thing I would suggest (not sure if it’s possible on your theme), is making the title headings a little bigger. Some of the subsequent sub headings actually are bigger than the blog post title. A small thing!
Re whether what you write about is too general? I’ve been blogging for two years across a range of different themes. My advice for what it’s worth is to write about what you enjoy – sticking to a specific theme can kill your creativity. Who knows what direction your blog will go by limiting your options from the outset.
Best of luck

I read a great post I found on pinterest recently about the legality behind it. Technically, even if you give credit, if you didn’t have permission to use a photo you can still get demands to take it down or even get sued! Just because it’s on google doesn’t mean it’s available for use. Giving credit can help, but if there isn’t photographer details definitely don’t use it!
The only exception I’ve heard of is items for sale (especially on Amazon or the like) if you link to where the reader can buy it 🙂 Otherwise, safest bet is to find free public photos, pay for the rights, or only use your own 🙂

I think the thing to do in a scenario when you don’t have the photographers details is to put a disclaimer saying something along the lines of ‘all efforts have been made to credit the photographers. Sometimes no such credit is available, but if they become known all photos will be updated.’ That type of thing. Hope that helps 🙂

If you include a link to your blog it will be easier to find your creations 😉 Alright, so feedback! I don’t have much in regards to topics you can write, really you can write whatever you want with your set up! Sometimes that can be a downfall because too many choices can cause what’s called decision paralysis!
As far as layout, maybe try making your blog name in your header white? Right now it disappears and I can’t read it at all, that or lighten up your header image 🙂 Also, that font in your header is just generally difficult to read, I’d suggest trying another one.
If you get the chance, you should check out my blog series on my harry potter party! (I saw you were a fan 😉 ) https://mylifesdesigns.wordpress.com/2015/09/15/a-very-potter-halloween-party-part-1-invitations/

Aaaargh I meant to include it but I forgot, it’s https://yfns.wordpress.com (for those of you who haven’t visited yet), such a rookie mistake. Right, that’s the idea, there’s just a few posts right now but once it adds up, there’ll be far more topics than there is right now (I know it’ll be confusing for the readers but well that’s what I need this blog to be).
Meant to do that from long ago! I just can’t seem to make it turn white, I might just change the whole theme all along. Huh so it’s generally hard to read huh? Will consider changing that too.

It does look like a lot, doesn’t it? In terms of word count it’s not much longer than my usual posts, but the graphs do take up a lot of space. I tried to create clear divisions between them with some white space between each one so it didn’t look too overwhelming. I’ll think about breaking it up a bit more in the future, maybe doing a Part I and Part II; team-based stats like table position and relegation in one part and league-based stats like goals and cards in the second part. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Alex – blimey! You must have loved Maths at school. That’s a lot of beautiful organisation of numbers.
A couple of things that would have made them clearer for me – something that differentiated the lines on the graphs. The colours were very close to each other – especially the blues and purples. Are they the actual colours of the teams? Do the teams have badges or symbols? Would broken lines or dots help? It seemed that Puebla (if I’m remembering right) changed from turquoise to purple in different graphs. I have a feeling other teams changed colours too. The one graph that had loads of lines criss crossing was quite difficult for me to grasp. Is there a way of breaking it down at all or does it only make sense if every team is in there? Maybe make more small graphs and then put them together in your giant graph?
I know very little about Mexican Futbol, so I’m commenting as a novice. Your charts bring the subject to visual life, so thank you for that.
Best wishes
Elaine

Thank you for your feedback! The colors are generated automatically in the program I use and I’m sure there’s a way to change them but I haven’t figured it out yet! The crisscrossing one is a bit confusing, but the only way to clarify it would be to take out some of the teams. It gets clearer as the season goes on – the end of season one is easier to look at. I will try to figure out how to customize the colors by then! Thanks again for your comments/suggestions.

Here goes – not a massive fan of your theme. The purple backdrop doesn’t work for me – then as I scroll down it changes colour. Little bit inconsistent. An all white backdrop with standard format/font and black colour text fits my taste better.
The images are very big – not sure how that reads on a mobile/tablet device but on my laptop it means even more scrolling. Perhaps make images 300×300 so text can wrap around it and you can fit more on the virtual page.
Best of luck.
