The place for feedback, advice, and friendly blogging chatter.
Have you just published a new post and are dying for some feedback? Are you redesigning your blog and could use some layout or design advice from your more seasoned peers?
The Community Pool is for peer feedback and advice. Looking for more specific information? Check out some of these resources:
- Learn, a series of step-by-step tutorials for those just starting out.
- All our posts on building an audience and growing your traffic.
- If you’re stuck for inspiration, here are our Daily Prompts and other ideas for writing topics.
- A roundup of posts on blogging etiquette.
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).
Looking for free, self-guided courses to help you get started with your blog (or revive a dormant one)? Check out our current offerings at Blogging U.
To help us make the Community Pool a productive space for discussion, here are some tips you might find useful:
- 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!
- 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.
- If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
- No running on the deck.
Are you a new blogger looking to share your very first post? We have a special forum for bloggers just like you in our weekly First Friday posts.
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

I love your blog’s concept because I’m interested in religions. I’ve always wanted to learn about Islam, but having no practicing Muslim friends, I know nothing about it.
One suggestion I have for your blog’s look is to maintain uniformity in the layout. In some posts, the text is centered. In others, I see a big picture on the left and the text is aligned to the right (which looks great).
LikeLiked by 1 person
Will heed that advice. Thank you very much 🙂 . I will share all I can about Islam and it goes for me too. I wanted to learn about other religions and their perspectives on certain matter, so if you would like to, feel free to comment on any of my posts 🙂

Flash fictioneers, help!
The questions first:
1. Do you imagine the story with less details or do you find yourself cutting out some details later due to word limits?
2. How do you figure out what to cut out?
3. And finally, any general tips for a chap who’s getting started with FFs?
On what prompted the question:
I wrote a flash fiction yesterday, where two FBI agents shoot a guy. Due to the word count limit (175 words), I had to leave out the background of the story, which is the US – Soviet spy war depicted in the TV show, “the Americans”. But now the story reads more like “shoot first ask questions later”:

LikeLiked by 2 people
You had me at “US-Soviet.” 😉
As with most writing, be it fiction or academic papers, I find myself cutting most of the time. Figuring out WHAT to cut can be really hard, and it’s craft that takes a lot of time and practice to hone. When it gets right down to it, I look at every sentence and ask, “Would the story be the same without this?” If yes, I cut it. It also helps to rephrase sentences in order to make them shorter. Be really harsh and honest with yourself.
