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.

Thank you so much, Natalie! I did have a few images in mind, but then I decided not to add them. I found images (I guess they are computer generated) of humans without skin, which might have been disturbing to some people. I found a lot of fun, skeletal ones, but couldn’t decide which one should go up! I did think of adding the image of a celebrity cosmetic-surgery-gone-bad, but it’s cheap to laugh at a famous person, especially when they went through the procedure to maintain a career. Images certainly help a post, but I do want to make it a safe, inoffensive read for people. Thank you again for reading.

If you come across someone’s theme that you want for your blog there’s a really easy way to find it. You know how if you scroll upwards on someone’s page that “follow” button pops up in the bottom right corner? If you click on the three dots a menu pops up with the option to “get theme.” It then takes you to the theme’s page and has an option to activate or demo it. So, if you come across a text-based blog and you like their theme you can nab it.

The images you use are absolutely breathtaking! I couldn’t stop scrolling your homepage just to look at all of them 🙂 Being able to choose an appealing image is a great skill! You pair your images well with your text, which is also great!
I like your writing but you use a lot of filter verbs (I saw, I heard, etc.) Example: “I opened my eyes to survey my surroundings for the umpteenth time […]” This sentence doesn’t actually say much. What are you surveying – trees, paths, the ground, etc? Obviously this sentence builds on the image you included, but I think it could be stronger if you simply tell your readers what you’re surveying: ex: I study my prints in the soft dirt. Which way had I come from? (or something 🙂 )

I LOVE your photos! You wanted some feedback on the links at the top, so here it goes… I think the layout is really good but having a page called “writing” and another one called “words” can be a bit confusing. The same goes for “about” and “who is her?” (even though “who is her” isn’t really about you, it’s still confusing).
Hope that helps 🙂 Your instagram photos are amazing by the way!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Both are valid points. I am not sure how to solve the writing/words one. Writing is very short fictional stuff and words are literally that, the meaning of words that I find and quotes etc, I’ll have a think about what I can call them instead.
About and Who Is Her? I can absolutely see how that is confusing; I may just hide the who is her? Page as I want to keep the page, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be linked.

As promised…
OK, looking at your blog in general, I like the layout, clean, easy to read and the header image is fresh and inviting. Looking at your about page, I like that it is not actually called “about” 🙂 even though I know the one on my page is (I may change that), I see that you’re a writer and editor so I don’t foresee any issues whatsoever in the content, but let me choose a post…
Life Lessons from a Hiatus
A good post, one I could learn from for sure in terms of stepping back and re-evaluating what is important and also about plugging away at something so much that it becomes a chore and you forget that it is supposed to be fun.
The only thing I could really think of was that it seemed to end quite abruptly, I know the piece wasn’t overly short anyway but those last two paragraphs somehow didn’t seem enough, even though they conveyed what you wanted to say. (not sure if that makes sense).
I am going to go back to that post you mentioned and rewrite it to see if I can do any better.

Regarding site traffic, I guess it can be a slow process, I would suggest finding opportunities to promote in the WP community (like this), getting interested in other peoples work, utilising other social media such as twitter and facebook and if you have people in the real world interested sharing it with them.
I would also suggest looking things to help generate traffic such as SEO (Search engine optimisation) and also capatilising on current events to help drive traffic.

Excellent – I think there are things in the fitness world that get discussed as big events in there own communities, but then there are also things that become mainstream news (such as the protein world saga last year which I am sure you would have your personal perspective on 🙂 ).
I have noticed you have an Instagram which you can capitilise on. And as a fitness model you have the advantage that you can tie your work to promote your blog.
I would also suggest going into all your posts and selecting the read more tag so that visitors can click on post they are interested in.
This has two benefits 1) It will make your home blog page more concise.
2) It will increase page views as currently all your work is on your blog home page.
If you need any further advice or help just let me know.

Hi all, if you haven’t seen it on other community posts, my friends and I currently run a group blog discussing various issues and frivolities that 20-something women face. Here’s our latest post: “Tech and Sex” https://tablefor9.wordpress.com/2016/07/14/tech-and-sex/

Hi Natalie, thanks for reading! I really like the gender focus of your blog, definitely food for thought! I liked the one on gender and cussing – I’ve always thought that about calling women a ‘bitch’, it literally just means female, so why is it even a cuss?
I can see why you’re nominated for so much 🙂

Greetings WP’ers!
Hope you are all having a fantastic bloggy week filled with likes, shares, comments and followers 🙂
Today I’d like to share a post I wrote after our recent holiday. I learnt that no matter how much you read up on a place and how prepared you think you are, sometimes a destination can take you totally by surprise. In this post I dispel some of the myths surrounding the beautiful city of Paris…
I would love to hear your opinions on the post and any suggestions for improvement. All constructive feedback is welcome 🙂
Have a great day!

Nice post! Good content, good post length, good images. My suggestion: maybe add photos at the bottom, where your fact or fiction section is! 🙂 I know that’s hard to do if you don’t have any photos of Paris at 11pm, or images of the dirty streets (ick!). But images like those might help break up the text in the second half of the post.

Hi guys, I have been wondering how I can share my writing journey with my readers without sounding too conceited. I came up with the idea of putting it in the form of an open letter to my readers, I like what I ended up with but I want to know your opinion. What do you think? Can I do something like this again?

Posts like this are very honest and heartfelt. I think readers will definitely appreciate more of them 🙂 There’s actually a trend here on WP where people will make posts like this (something that gives little updates about life) and call it “Weekend coffee share.” There’s a whole tag for it too, b/c a lot of people participate in these weekly life updates. Maybe if you do more of these letters in the future, you could post as part of a weekend coffee share to get more exposure?

This may be a basic thing, but I do like the organization of your blog. The reader can jump between major topics without too much of a hassle since “travel” and “skin care” really only overlap in a limited number of ways (like maybe an ‘onsen’ in Japan?)

HEY THERE!
We’ve all heard the saying ‘Wrong information spreads like wildfire.’ And to be quite honest, a lot of misinformation stems from the conversations teenagers have among themselves. Which is why, I’ve started The Teens’ Digest. I’ve recently put up my first article which is on Sex Ed; please tell me what you think!
