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.

The pictures on your blog are very high quality, and I love the layout. Maybe you would consider shortening it to post make it easier to navigate, or if you prefer showing the whole post, maybe make the like button available at the bottom so one doesn’t have to click each post to like it after they’ve already read it.

A little late in posting but thought I’d share: Why saying “NO” to our kids is a good thing.” I haven’t done a parenting article in a while and thought I’d ask for your thoughts. (3 minute read time)
Excerpt:
Generally speaking, contemporary American society is very indulgent towards children. While the children of many other countries are often struggling for basic needs, American kids have high-tech gear, designer-brand clothes, and-in many cases- the latest entertainment devices. After all, we can afford it, so why not buy it, right?
Wrong.

It looks like you are off to a good start. A good next step would be to take care of the areas that look unfinished. You could delete that pre-formatted “first post” and remove the empty text widget in your sidebar. Also, you could put a few words on your About page to tell us the purpose of your site. https://gracelead.co

I am exceedingly happy with having started a blog 2 weeks ago. I feel at peace within myself, getting my inner most thoughts out and actually having people agree or relate or even just enjoy the writing. It feels great! I have never had anyone read my writings before, I was just always too insecure to share.
A big thank you to the people that take their time to read 🙂 I know I create a different character for each post, but they are in fact me and the things I think about daily. Speaking them has always kind of gotten me into trouble. People are just waiting to squash you with their rebuttal opinions, so lately I’ve just decided to shut up and write it down instead.
