Community Pool

Where bloggers come for friendly feedback and advice.

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.

  4. I just started my blog head first on Jan. 7 and did not even know about the First Friday thread for new bloggers until this week. Too late for that so here I am.
    Originally I was going to start a blog about my artistic process but it’s morphed into a general creative journal of essays & poetry & now starting into photography. (gotta get to that artwork!) At this point I’m not sure if I’m getting too generalized- or do I just run with my heart. Feedback appreciated!

      1. Good idea on adding the category for Artistic Process. I’m finding this blog going more into a full on website- but that’s OK. Thanks for your input!

  12. Hey everyone! Would love some feedback on one of my recent post. It’s short and sweet, but feel free to give feedback on my blog overall! I’ve been posting more often again and would love some constructive criticism.

  13. Hi everyone! My name is Ingrid and I blog about art (and life!) appreciation! I try to read some of the wonderful summaries out there but I am sure there are obvious stuff / button /widget that I haven’t put on my blog which nonetheless could help me get more feedback, more likes and more followers to sign on…I guess I spend so much time on it sometimes that I can’t see the trees in the forest 😂 please take a look with a fresh eye if you have time, I’d be so grateful! https://reinventingrid.wordpress.com
