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 Nerds! My name is mckelodeon, and I run the nerd culture blog, Nerd•ily!
This week, I have some very special posts I will be sharing by guest geek bloggers. This weekend is C2E2, an awesome convention that takes place in Chicago. Last year, I dedicated a whole week leading up to the event, and this year I wanted to make C2E2 Week even better! Even if you’re not going to C2E2, hopefully you’ll still enjoy the wonderful selection of con-themed posts! Here is today’s installment from Sadie by Design!

I really don’t get the whole cosplay thing and wonder why intelligent, geeky, nerdy people don’t embrace themselves more. Roar – this is who I am in society – rather than seek release via a costume. I believe writing forces one to think, putting concepts into words, sentences, paragraphs. Nerds and geeks read, so you’ll always find an audience.

Cosplay isn’t so much about hiding as it is exploring a new aspect of yourself. For the woman that’s shy, maybe she chooses to cosplay as Batgirl to feel empowered. Or for the man that feels like he doesn’t have a place in this world, perhaps cosplay allows him to find his niche, which can open up doors into different aspects of geek and nerd culture. There are many reasons why people choose to cosplay. I know for myself, I cosplay because, most of the time, I am in environments that aren’t necessarily accepting of those cultures. Cosplaying is a release for me, to get my nerd on in an accepting atmosphere. That’s why this concept was put into words for this week, so that others might be able to understand it better.

Commenting on other’s blogs and even search for a specific poetry tag can help! There is a huge community of poets on WordPress and interacting with others can help.
Do you have tags for your poetry?
Do you have categories for your poetry?
Is your post formatted for search engines?
Also, try working on your layout and design. A lot of people are attracted to blogs with an attractive layout. Also, I would edit your About Me page. This can be an explanation of your poetry style, an introduction to who you are as a poet, or simply a description of what you write about. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! Keep writing! 🙂
