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:
- 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.

Hello there! I’d just like some feedback about my blog in general. I posted a bit about travel recently, but if you could just give me some tips for the general blog and gaining readership, that would be great

I love the idea of travel blogs, kudos to you! I don’t have the ability to travel much but so wish I could. I love the look of your blog, but I would consider going with more themed photos to appeal more to the reader’s visual eye! Consider rolling with a few colors that appear in your travels often, or using a similar filter on them all.
Keep up the hard work girl!!
Best,

Images are sized and cropped automatically. is there a way that I can control this? I put work into those so that they work the way that I want to. I don’t see any WordPress tools to work with this. Help?
Example new post: https://CommunityNoise.blog

Hello all!
I noticed a mutual topic of “resolutions” this new year is creating a healthier mind free of clutter and, for lack of a better term, bullshit.
Check out my latest post on my few tips to creating a healthier, happier mind. I share things that have worked for me on a daily basis to reduce all the nonsese, stress, guilt and self pity that can come with life.
Please take a peek and let me know what you think!
If you care to, leave your blog in the comments if you share similar topics of self/inner health, or just want to be friends!
Thank you all in advance.
