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:
- 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.

Yes, your blog is good. At first, you won’t have a lot of views, but don’t worry about it. They grow with time. I suggest you should use as many tags as possible, because they attract more readers! Oh, and photos. Loads of them! Good luck with your blog! 🙂

I agree with Oceauxnic. Tag, tag, and then tag again. Broad tags, like #sports, then more narrow tags like #dortmund. Also, post as regularly as you can. Follow other sports/soccer writers on WordPress. Don’t give up.

Agree with the previous two posters. An hour or so searching for tags and reaching out to other bloggers couldn’t hurt. Also, one week isn’t enough time for a blog to get famous. It *is*, however, the start of you getting your rhythm down and your blog voice developing. You’ll discover what it is the more you write.

Hi Soph, great post! I enjoy a good Top 10 recommendation list, though I don’t think I’ll ever have the patience to read all of The Lord of the Rings.
In terms of advice, I notice you don’t have a standard blue WordPress follow button on your blog? You may want to think about adding one – they’re quite handy for getting fellow WP bloggers to follow you easily, in addition to having an email sign-up (like you have). Otherwise, it’s looking good!
