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.
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.

I read Tea with Cream and Savanannah’s Father and enjoyed both of them. To me, they are like snippets of life, little memories that take you back in time. I’m a tea drinker as well. I drink mostly hibiscus tea hot or iced with a few drops of stevia for sweetness. https://gracelead.co

Hello All!
I’ve been writing on my blog for about 2 months now. I’ve got a setup for the site I think I like and I write about minimalism, travel, frugality, and financial independence.
Could you go to my site and tell me what you think?
– Does the site look good overall?
– How is my writing? (content, length, grammar)
– Is my writing engaging? Does it make you think?
– What do you think about my social media?
– What suggestions do you have? (writing, site, social media, ect.)
Thanks so much! If you want me to take a look at something, let me know and I’ll give you my take!

Hi there! Super relevant blog topic! I like that 🙂
I like the way the blog looks. The style is clean and easy to find the information you want. I like the social media on the side bar. It shows a little bit more of who you are and what you write about.
I have to say I’m not a fan of the header font. The text font is soft friendly, which I think goes well with your writing. But the header font is all tall and formal. It could also be that I just don’t like that font… 😉
Other than that, I’m looking forward to seeing where your path will take you!

I think your writing is good and the site is nice and simple, yet the first thing people see is that banner. It’s blurry, but not in an intentional looking way. It just looks like it was not a good enough quality. I would try to replace it with something that was either intentionally unfocused or in perfect clarity. I noticed that it was also on your twitter which could keep people from clicking over (people are weird, they tend to gloss over things that aren’t clear)
Have you made sure your site is verified by all the major sites? It’s under settings. That’s the only thing that really helped another site I have.
If you have any advice for me, I would love to hear. onemadlife.wordpress.com

Personally, I love your layout. I would only suggest fixing your about page as it is incomplete. I think that for what you are doing, that layout is perfect.
Another note: I might add categories under the search function. This would allow users to get to what they want to see with a click.

You provided enough snippets for us to get a sense of your personality and interests. Your writing style was friendly and conversational. I was confused what you meant by supporting your husband/boyfriend by retiring. Was the support emotional and managing the household rather than financial? https://gracelead.co
