Community Pool

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:

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 and guidelines 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, as well as for not starting numerous threads in a single Pool.
  • 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. Also note that including multiple links in your comment might automatically put it in the moderation queue, which will delay its publication.
  • 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.

  3. Hi all

    I created a blog because I somewhat felt lost and engulfed by the city… it’s nice to have a place to share thoughts experiences, recommendations and well a place to just blur the it all out.

    It you can all show it some love like and follow and let me know what Else you would like to see that would be much appreciated…. if you don’t want to like or view or follow can you kindly let me know why. Thank you- let’s make this world a better place and show love and support for one another

  6. Hello! So I posted a super short post (only four lines but sometimes that’s all you need) on yesterday’s daily prompt of Hyperbole but it didn’t seem to show on the page so I thought I would post it here to get some feedback on it. I’m considerably new so feedback on any aspect of the blog really is warmly welcome. This is the link to the post in response to the prompt! Thank you 🙂

    1. The Walking paradox is beautifully written and what I think we all need to hear sometimes! We don’t have to define ourselves and know exactly who we are. Thank you for writing this, please continue to do so I think we all need your honest thoughts to help us decode our own!

      As you’re growing your blog it may be worth splitting your works into two categories – Prompts and thoughts like your about page says you would like to do.

      Also, minor detail but I noticed in your about page a typing errors where you’ve written ‘As this thoughts come to me’ instead of ‘as these thoughts come to me’

      Really enjoyed reading!

    1. I like your focus on time and the future! Your note to future self was lovely and a great idea for all of us to try- to communicate years into the future to remind ourselves who we are now compared to who we will be and know how far we have come!

      An about page would be nice to see what you’re here for and what your blog means for you.

      Thank you for sharing!
