Community Pool

Where bloggers come together to give each other 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.

  10. Hello my fellow bloggers of the world,

    Although many of you already know who I am and what I stand as a blogger, there are many of you who aren’t familiar with my work, that said, basically, I’m a personal, travel, and inspirational blogger.

    I have recently published a few posts over the week, but one that is very important to me, in which I would appreciate feedback. (Glad to return the favor)

    2. I liked your thought process flow in your posts. Very similar to how my blog started out, writing about my life and things I go through (before I turned it into a travel & life blog. Loved your blog name. 🙂

  12. Any of you guys like Writing Challenges? Do you like prompts to pique your muse? I’m a great fan of prompts and I have just started a new blog: https://aooga.wordpress.com/. the first set of prompts go live on Sunday morning. I’d love to see you, if you want to come to play! Aooga!

  16. Hello to everyone!

    I am a mum on maternity leave and I have recently started my blog, mainly to share with my friends and family as we are living far from everyone. And I am still learning about.

    However, someone may get inspired as I love cooking and learning how to be a mum to our little monkey. Therefore, any feedback will be appreciated 🙂

    Thank you and have a nice day 🙂

  27. Hi fellow bloggers!

    I’m fairly new to blogging but I’d love some feedback on wellasithappens. It features poetry, music and art to communicate thoughts about feeling stuck and moving forward. My latest post looks at the theory of ‘flow’, a total feeling of immersion and moving forward with art.

    Thanks so much in advance!

  29. Hey guys!
    It’s been 6 long years since I have written a damn thing. With a new job where I have the freedom to express my creative nature and my muse pushing me to reclaim a passion that I thought I had lost, I thought a blog would be the perfect place to start. Only a couple of posts down, but looking forward to many more!
