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.

    1. Hey, If I could offer two suggestions, You haven’t given your site a title and it just comes up with ‘site title’. if you can come up with a title that will make it stand out more.
      Also you still have a ‘text widget’ in your sidebar, to get rid of this you need to customise your theme and go to the widgets tab…
      hope that helps.
      Also if you get a chance I’d love if you would check out my blog and let me know what you think.
      Thanks

    2. +1 for add a title to your blog. 🙂

      I’m moving to Vancouver soon so I’d love to hear about more yummy food once you get going. I’ll add a comment to your blog.

    3. It’s also helpful to put something on your About page to explain the purpose of your site. To increase visibility to your site, let your post feed any social media accounts that you have. Also, use the WordPress Reader to find some posts on topics related to yours. When you read those posts and add a like or comment to some, it will make more people aware of your site. https://gracelead.co

    1. Hi, just left a comment on your post. well done! have you thought about running competitions to do with giving away digital marketing to grow your brand exposure?
      Like helping someone create a display ad for them to use, with them giving you some kind of shoutout that it was from you guys?
      Just my thoughts.
