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.

Hi swimmers,
I have just started a project and would like to know if people have any opinions or suggestions for me.
I only have an introduction on my site as of yet, but i would be interested in feedback. It is a photography based comment on postmodern society.
Also, I do not really know how to navigate the site very well. So the inside scoop could be really beneficial to me.
Thanks everyone.
Have a great day,
C

I decided to do an end of the week post, sort of a wrap up/recap to get more reads/views/likes for what I posted. However, that didn’t seem to work out. Does this look like a good idea and something I should continue/ Is the format the problem? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your poetry is compelling. The layout looks good. You might want to add an About page that tells the purpose of your site. It would help to designate a category for each post. Consider what topics you are likely to write about in your poems and stories. Those could be your categories. My blog has 4 categories for posts. I’ve assigned each post to one of those categories. I also have some pages of downloads. http://gracelead.co

Hi Chosenwon,
Thank you for your feed back …there is a saying in Africa that says the event is bigger sometimes than the timing…the blog is about motivation. Experience and stories of life. its about poetry, its about everything that uplifts our souls and make our hearts connect. Its about healing for the world is bleeding to death. Its not about one thing its about particular moments in our life time. You can check the grammar too and spelling that will go along way in improving this blog. On the other hand Its imperative to note here that I write in three other languages, Gikuyu (My tribal language), Swahili and German. So English is the fourth in that order. sometimes what I post is deeply influenced in philosophy, theology and performing arts as I am a student of all.Once again thank you.

“Lazy-mind syndrome.” That’s creative. I’m fairly new to blogging. So far, as I’m visiting blogs, I’m seeing three types: (1) Those promoting products or services, (2) Those expressing themselves, talking it out, (3) Those who share ideas they hope will be helpful to others. I think they all have a place. We each need to decide why we are blogging and if it’s a good use of our time. http://gracelead.co

Sam, I have received similar responses from people when I told them I was starting a blog. They were quizzical about my need to write and viewed my invitations to follow my blog as more spam in their in-boxes. I just hope that I am able to convey my message with as much passion as you did in the “Impossible Impossibilities” post. I did have to go back a couple of times in this post to clearly follow your train of thought but never found myself derailed. 🙂

There is such a diverse audience out there that there are likely to be others who enjoy things you do. Given that, focus on what you like. Think about why you want to do a blog.

You might want to have your Home page be your posts and put About as a separate page. It usually takes time for people to find a blog. If you have social media, you can share your posts to those accounts. Look for blogs that contain subject matter similar to yours and make comments. That could help people find your blog. http://gracelead.co
