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.

  2. Hi my name is Justin. I just started my blog in September of 2016 this year. As a christian who loves the Bible, I decided to write about different topics relating to the Bible. I am in need of feed back. Did it capture your intention, did It make you want to continue reading and did it make you feel like you wanted more? I appreciate all the help you and advice you can give me to make my blog successful as possible. I want readers to have strong interests in my blog and to give it a chance by reading, liking and even following my blog. Please check out graceisenoughcom.wordpress.com and give me feedback and advice. Thanks,

    1. Trust is one of the most important aspects of life! From trusting someone you’re in a relationship with, to trusting your gut when it says not to go down that alleyway.

      Great post!

    2. I like your thoughts and the image of the opal is gorgeous. There are a few awkward places in your writing. Here’s an alternaive to one section.
      “I take care of it and shape it. I slowly make the sharp edges less dangerous so they won’t cut me or others. That way others can touch my edges and my warmth can keep them from being cold.” https://gracelead.co

  8. Well I posted after a long time, even though my uni has finished. I wrote on adulthood and movies, weird combination. Here is my take after watching Pete’s Dragon

    I wish I had a dragon

    Any feedback and views are appreciated. If you like my writing let me know, it has been a while since I got some comments on my blog

    I sound so needy 🙂

    1. Hey fellow blogger,I checked out your content and I am genuinely impressed. I have started following you for more of your content. Being a newbie to this I would like to ask you a few things if thats ok by you. Is there a way we can talk in private? Thanks.
