The place for feedback, advice, and conversations about blogging.
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 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.

Hello and happy new year!
I’ve tried writing fiction for the first time. I usually write on general topics like tech and photography but this one is a bit different.
Should I continue writing fiction or should I move back to non fiction.

With me, it was good for more than a few laughs. 🙂 BTW, you have more than 15 tags + categories on the post which means that WordPress won’t put it in their Reader. If having your post show up there is important to you, it would help to delete some tags. https://gracelead.co

Thank you so much for the tip! I didn’t realize there was a rule about this. Thought the tags were just for SEO purposes.

Do you think my blog has many /enough blog posts highlighted?
http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress I dislike when past blog posts get buried after spending care and time on each blog post.
Would you use any widgets that are at the bottom for the theme I use (Dyad?)
I love Dyad but it’s drawback is widgets at bottom.. but maybe widgets aren’t important anymore.
