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 more information about custom domains, advanced design options, and other enhancements for your blog? Find the WordPress.com plan that’s right for you.
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.
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.
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.

What a nice day for a swim! Happy Eclipse Day fellow bloggers. I made a slight tweak to my layout by adding a “read more” to my home page entries, now that I have 20+ plus posts! Please stop by and let me know what you think. I have a question about the menu bar on my theme PenScratch 2. It appears to be a mile long and I don’t want it to be, but when I go to “customize”, it displays as a normal size. Any tips? Any similar struggles? Of course I will stop by and check your blog out to should you find a moment to contribute any advice. Have a lovely day and thanks so much for taking the time to read this!

Your blog looks awesome so far and the images you’ve used in your posts really go well with the content of the post itself. Since you’ve reached over posts, congrats on the achievement!! I’d recommend adding a few widgets, showing your latest/most popular posts and social media links and a follow button.
I hope this was useful!!

I think your layout looks great, and having the “continue reading” is a great idea, so people can scan through your offerings easliy. I’m not familiar with your theme, so unfortunately I can’t offer any assistance with it. Great photos, though!

Thanks for chiming in! I resisted the “read more” button at first because I don’t usually like them when I’m reading blogs, but it was becoming hard for me to navigate so I figured it would be for others too. Thanks for the compliment. I’ve enjoyed making pictures almost as much as words!

Hi Jessica,
I like that you added the read more, I prefer to scroll through things that way. Makes it easy to pick and choose! Also, I noticed that your contact page doesn’t actually have a form to contact you. I believe you can fix this by editing the page and clicking “add form”.

Love your blog and use the same theme, but do not understand what you want to change, I’ll try and help tho. What menu bar do you mean? And keep going you have something here.
LikeLiked by 4 people
Thanks so much! Yah, it’s a pretty great theme. The main menu bar below “Mountains of Words” appears as a four inch long box that creates a big gap between header and text. It likely doesn’t appear the same way on every device. When I go to edit it, the box appears as a 1/2″x2″ box exactly as I want it to appear. Maybe my question is how does it appear to you? Thanks so so much for trying to help. I appreciate it!

Hello, fellow bloggers!
Happy Monday!
I’ve been debating whether to post this story of mine up or not. It’s a chapter story and is nowhere near finish. It doesn’t have much of a plot but I find myself always going back to it when I’m writing something new. I’m really nervous about it, but please do give me any feedback that you can. For example, what you liked or didn’t like about it and what I can do to improve in my next story. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Happy Solar Eclipse Day Bloggers!
First of all, many thanks to the hundreds of you who came by my new domain to kick the tires and test-drive my blog this weekend. I’m grateful to have many of you as new followers. I’m equally grateful to Ben for having widened my exposure by selecting me as an Editor’s pick. All of this was happening while I was camping and hiking in very remote parts of the Pacific Northwest where there was no cell or internet service, so I was completely taken by surprise at the outcome.
In my search for a 4G signal, I located a tavern in Castle Rock, WA where I could settle in with a cold beer and prepare my latest post:
That’s when my phone blew up with a continuing cacophony of buzzes and bells of backlogged likes and follows. From that moment, I understood the extent of what it meant to no longer be writing for myself.
Yet, with so much more of my journey to be realized, I will continue to shoot pictures and tell stories as before, but with a renewed emphasis on personal discovery and adventure. Please enjoy the latest post, and drop me a line should you feel the urge. Neal

Maybe I am uninitiated, I mean I haven’t even read the books but what is your idea of “ground shaking?” I look at GOT for the entertainment, I am not versed in what makes for great cinematography, choreography or what have you, but I’d say ‘Spoils of War’ was pretty ground shaking along with ‘The Queen’s Justice’. This Season has been kickass for me… 😀

Good morning, it’s 6 am here! As always I will read as much of your work as possible when I get back home after work. In the meantime, I need your help. My blog is basically me on the page. I cook for a living so share recipes. This section of my blog is growing and is receiving the most views, 300 for the beef curry, that’s massive for me, but I do not want to concentrate on food. The question then, continue being me and writing from the heart or chase the views and post more recipes? HELP?????
Also how do I get back to this point without having to scroll through all the comments again?
