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.

Helloooo fellow poolers!
In this week’s blog challenge, I write about the grossest travel experience I’ve had. Please feedback my post of the time I went to a Ping Pong show in Bangkok, explicitly detailing my red light district experience.

Hi guys! I have been writing a 3 part series titled “Varun” on an experience that changed my perception about the LGBT in India. Coming from a country where LGBT is a big taboo, my experience with an 8-year-old boy toppled my understanding of the Indian society, LGBT community in India( who are shunned, and discriminated), and the future we leave to the next generation.

Your site so far has a clean and easy to navigate layout. Thought I’d recommend adding a header image or a logo to give your blog more visual appeal.
Also, fill in the About Page with a bit about yourself and your blog and perhaps where you’d like to go with it, this will help readers find out what type of blogger you are.
As for the widgets, you can either remove or edit the text widget on your site, I’d suggest adding a follow button and when you write more posts, a latest/most popular blog posts widget. This can all be done in the customiser.
I hope this was useful!!

This is my first time coming to the community pool and to be honest, I’m not sure what I’m doing with blogging. Not in design, or optimizing it to get visitors and feedback, how to get links to share, how to make posts on separate pages, or even what questions to ask. I don’t know what I don’t know. This seemed to be a good place to try and clear up some of the fog. with that in mind, should you have any suggestions, I’m all ears. But in any case, here’s my blog:

Your blog has a nice layout, it’s easy to navigate and has a clean look. Thought your About Page is a little unconventional in that it’s longer than most, it’s still really captivating and interesting, if you add more visual appeal, I’d suggest adding an image to it.
In terms of your posts, you have a good writing style and I like that you accompany the text with lots of images, it brings the posts alive.
Since you have quite a few posts you can split them into categories and have these linked in the Menu at the top. I’d also suggest adding categories to your posts and adding tags as well, this will help your posts be found in the WordPress Reader.
In terms of widgets at the bottom of the page, I’d suggest adding in a follow button and perhaps some social media links.
If you want to increase blog traffic and earn more visitors I have a blog post with tips & tricks on how to achieve this https://whenlifeawakens.wordpress.com/2017/08/19/100-followers-blogging-tips-tricks-beaboss-series/

I am a lifestyle blogger and i chose this niche because I did not want to be limited in what I can write about. However, now i am afraid I am going to broad and it makes my blog seem like it does not have a purpose. My theme is daily tips for those living on a budget but still want to be healthy. Does my blog convey this or is it too random? adkinsdomain.com

I feel like the posts you’ve written about aren’t too broad at all, as you’ve already mentioned being a lifestyle blogger means you’re not limited so there’s a huge variety of topics you can write about. If you want to be a little more organised you could categorise the posts and use a widget or a menu to display these categories.
As long as you’re writing with a passion and that’s visible in your writing style, don’t worry too much about breaking out of your niche. As long as you’re not writing a bunch of lifestyle posts that don’t mean much to you.
I hope this was useful!!
