Community Pool

The place for feedback, advice, and blogging camaraderie.

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.

    1. Hey 🙂
      Your blog is looking great. Love the layout and your blogs name is awesome!
      The only thing is if you scroll down to the bottom of your page, you can see the text widget. You can edit it to delete the text 🙂

      Looking forward to reading more from you.

  8. Hey guys,
    I just restarted blogging. I used to blog a lot but then I stopped for a year and now I am doing something completely different than I did before. I would like feedback on what I can do to get more traffic through my blog. I just started yesterday so it is pretty new. What I am doing though is like a diary type thing and I am going to post every day. I want it to be mainly about my love life. Eventually, I want to end up showing this blog to my boyfriend, who doesn’t know about it. Any feedback would be very helpful! Thank you so much!

  13. Hey everyone! I published a new short story and it’s about moving on or being free. It’s titled “The Heart and The Brain” and it’s also a response to the Discover Challenge. Here’s the link:

    The Heart and The Brain

    I mostly write poetry and bittersweet stuff so if you’re into that, take a look at my blog! 😉 ☼

  19. Hello Blogging world! I have (re)started blogging on a new topic: crafting. Since it’s my first try in that area, I would consider feedback very helpful. Too much Information, not enough, picture quality acceptable and so on…

    First there was a dolphin…

    Going to jump into the pool now to see other people’s Posts!
