Community Pool

The place for feedback, advice, and 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.

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.

      1. Thanks for checking out and the feedback, I’ll work on it! To go back to the home page you just have to click the name of the blog I think 😉

    1. I really like the theme, layout, photos and content of your blog, but the font is very small and makes for quite difficult reading which is a shame as it took a bit of the enjoyment away, but I was reading it on an iPad!
      Keep up the good work, use tags and drop in on lots of other bloggers and your readership will grow.

    2. Really like your blog! One thing that’s confusing to me is that it seems I can’t comment on your posts. I can see what others wrote but I don’t see how to write new comment or reply.

  6. Hello and happy Friday everyone!

    I just revamped my blog to be more organized and easier to find your way around. I also edited my most recent post because I didn’t like the way my handwriting looked. Feel free to check out the love note as well as the blog itself!
