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.

Hey fellow swimmers,
I decided to write something a bit different this week, moving away from an abstract poem that I normally write towards a more narrative one, specifically about the Vietnam War, inspired by reading The Things They Carried.
My question is, does it work? Does the rhythm change in the middle fit and how does it make you feel? Check it out below.
Happy to offer feedback to anyone who wants it as well, just holler.

Alright Stevie, I’ve checked out bot of your blogs and here are my thoughts.
Video intro for your site is really cool. I’ve actually been looking to set one up myself but it seems like someone (You!) beat me to it hah! Kudos to that. You and Greg seemed to have fun while filming it so that’s awesome 😉
Now as for site content, when I went to your first blog “Steve-says”, I was kinda confused after watching the video because your site is really packed with a lot of content and though it was organized, I found it rather overwhelming for some reason. Maybe it’s the way everything is laid out in the “The best blog for” Section. You gotta move your cursor over to the image to see the words slide up.
Coupled with the fact that I tried clicking on the images and the words in that section but the clicks did nothing- I thought I’d be brought over to your articles which will be related to “Photography”, “Travel” or “Cats” as I click on them y’know?
But then I saw the tags on the side of the page so it wasn’t a problem for me anymore lol but I thought it was worth a mention since the tag is kinda hard to spot unless you go looking for it.
It’s pretty evident to me that you’re the creative and more artistically visual type because you used LOTS of photo images and colors in your blog to make it look as vibrant and full of energy like yourself (Awesome btw!) and that’s perhaps the thing thats holding everything together. Keep that up but I must mention something about your video content. Some of them feels kinda pointless lol which I’m sure it’s probably something you do but I’d say try to make every video worth the time of your audience cause personally, I feel that people don’t like having their time wasted and it’s rude to do it anyway. Imagine what if someone else wastes your time as well even if its just a few minutes.
But these are just my opinion of course. If you feel that you enjoy doing all that you’re currently doing?
By all means, don’t let me stop you from being who you are! Share that passion of yours with everyone 😉
Also, it’s obvious what you’re passionate about. The 2 blogs have music sprayed all over them hah!
In the second blog’s visit, I felt a little more at ease as things are definitely less cluttered or packed there and seemed more organized.
Content is cool. Definitely spent a lot of time here considering all the songs and rankings etc. Seriously, where are you finding the time for all these lol! Talk about dedication too XD
So the only bad thing I wanna point out here is that I can’t seem to see the “Like” button anywhere to show you that I’ve read your post… Is it because of the theme or did you turn the function off?
If it is turned off, I’d recommend you turn it back on because there are busy bloggers who don’t have time to leave comments but sometimes, grab their spare minutes to read blogs and they’d love to let you know they’ve read your work by clicking on “Like” button to do it. I’m one of these bloggers lol hence I’d recommend you to do that so you’d know when people actually do read your stuff too!
That will definitely keep you motivated to produce more content 😉
Alright hope that helps bud!

Hey bud, nice blog you’ve got there 😉
Layout is real sleek and clean therefore its easy on the eyes. In fact, I had a wonderful time going through your blog considering the content which I’ll get to later.
I’ve noticed a few minor missing parts which might help in improving your readers’ experience.
First, as mentioned in one of the comments (If my memory served me right, someone mentioned it as well before me in your blog lol) you blog doesn’t have menus or “Categories” being laid out for readers to choose from and all they have is either scroll down the homepage or click onto the recent posts.
My suggestion? Add these to your site:
1. Categories / A blog tab
2. Archives Section (Allow readers to read your posts via date selection)
Aside from these 2, I don’t really see much issue.
Now content is real good. Your writing has a certain flair to it and I really love the content, as would others in future I’m sure, so keep it up bud!
Your content can make a difference in people’s lives 😉
Now if you got any questions or need help with anything, feel free to ask yeah?
Would love to collaborate with you in future if possible btw. Let me know if you’ll be cool with this too!
Oh yeah, maybe add a “Contact me” tab to your site as well haha!
Have a good day/ night 😉

You got a really nice blog going here. Layout is clean and your use of images along with your personality in the form of writing helps express your thoughts really nicely and btw, I really love your personality so keep doing whatever you’re doing so far. It’ll go well in the long run for sure 😉
Just a note though, perhaps it’s because the blog is new so it’s not up yet but don’t forget to include an “About” page so that your readers will know who they are “Listening” to!
Most visitors of a new blog head on over to this page first so it’s a crucial one 😉
Overall, I’d say from the way things are going, you should be getting quite a number of following if you keep things up.
Just curious now, is this your first time blogging?

Hey Yasmin, just gone through your blog and here are my thoughts 🙂
First, the layout is clean and organized so thats good! Images used- they make sense in posts that addresses certain issues and that helps in illustrating an even clearer image for readers.
I don’t spot anything missing. I do feel, however, that if you add a picture of yourself somewhere, it might add on in the area of connecting with your readers.
As a Psychology Major, I’m sure you know why this will help, yeah? 😉
But of course, it’s not necessary. It’s just a suggestion!
I see that you’re working in the line of clinical psychology. Is that why your theme is mainly white? To give sort of a soothing feel that one would expect when perhaps, looking at a doctor or nurse in a hospital? XD

Hi fellow bloggers! I’ve started on a story titled “Two Skies, One Love.” It’s about a singer (Haneul) with an alias (Chun) who falls in love with a normal high school student (Eun-kyung) who doesn’t know about his secret. I hope you’ll show interest and comment! Here is an excerpt:
“I can’t believe I’m feeling jealous of myself,” Haneul muttered, bitterly.
Manager Song sat down next to him. “You should just tell her that you are Chun.”
“I can’t!” Haneul slammed a hand down on the coffee table, agitation in his voice. “I can’t! She says she likes me, no, Chun, because he’s thoughtful! Because he’s honest! Her image of Chun will crash when she finds out the truth. She’ll hate me for sure. Both sides of me.” His voice caught on the last two sentences.

I like your blog layout! It’s nice.
That except is a just a tab bit clunky. I haven’t read your other writing yet, but based on this I would say to work on your flow and your punctuation. For example, you don’t need a comma between ‘muttered’ and ‘bitterly.’ And then with things like “You should just tell her that you are Chun.” The reader knows he’s Chun, yeah? so it might flow better if you just said something more like “You should just tell her who are you.” Yeah? Yeah.
I’ll check out your blog, too! =]

Fantastic blog – is this still for a class? If not, I suggest starting a new site that isn’t attached to the university. You’re highly eloquent, and if you don’t have to publish for assignments, you should post for yourself and own your words. 🙂

It is no longer for a class (though I still have a year left, I might need it for one), but it also is my current online portfolio and I divorced it from my school email, so I’m not going to lose access to it. It’s just run through their server. Thank you for your feedback! 🙂
LikeLiked by 2 people
Indeed, though I won’t deny their servers gave me some technical difficulty when I had my class blog… 😛
One more thought – look into whether you or the university owns the content on your blog since it’s their server and was class-related…if I recall correctly, Tech owns student-produced research. No idea how that goes for blogs.

It’s a very well-written blog overall, introspective but not too heavy. You don’t sound like you’re torturing yourself and displaying your anguish (which, even if real, is *very* hard to read and makes people uncomfortable), which makes your writing and you yourself accessible.

I enjoyed reading your posts and I really like the look of your blog and your statements of purpose. I do have a few suggestions. 1) Add a “Recent Posts” widget so that we can easily see your list of new posts. It makes it easier to find them. 2) I had trouble finding the page that has the ongoing series of posts. Usually it is on the Home page but your home page was something else. I finally found what I was looking for listed under the Blog page. I hope other people can find it.
Welcome to the WordPress community. I expect, from what I’ve read, that you will enjoy it as much as I do. This is a very supportive place!

There will be other widgets you will probably want as well. They really add to a blog, as long as there aren’t so many that it starts to look cluttered. It is helpful to look at other blogs to see what you like.
