Where WordPress bloggers support each other with 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.

Hi Holly,
Thank you very much. I had a look at your blog and the overall appearance is lovely, especially for just two months!! I followed you via the pop up generic icon but I think you could add some of the widgets I mention, especially the ‘follow button’ and maybe the ‘my community’ one. Also, you should enable likes and comments. Right now we can’t give you that feedback. That’s via dashboard/settings/sharing.
Also, the category menu is good, we can select what interests us and there aren’t too many posts to scroll through right now as it’s early days and there are a lot of categories. When the number of posts per categories gets large you could maybe think about drop down menus. There’s a very good video on that, embedded in my article.
One other thing, you’ve used one of the WP headers, not one of my favourites TBH, so I’d recommend changing that to something more in tune with the theme of your blog. That’s via the customizer.
Good luck with your blog and I’ll look forward to reading more from you!
LikeLiked by 3 people
Thank you so much for the input! I will definitely look into these more this weekend when I have some time to get lost in my blog.

LikeLiked by 1 person
Hi Holly, you’re welcome, and with regard to the header, you can go to themes/customize/header image and click ‘randomize suggested headers.’ Then your visitors would get some variety whilst you decide on a better one/better ones. In fact I might just do that myself with my uploaded header images!
I would type into Google what the theme of your blog is, and click on images. Then see what comes up and carry on from there.
Anyway, best of luck with the tips in the article!

Hi Traci, wow, well you got a lot of Twitter followers pretty quickly then! Anyway, it’s something new and interesting for me to explore. I’ve not had many referrals yet, except for an article which is stored as a page not a post, about 40 views so far via Twitter. I didn’t ‘post’ it as it’s probably not of interest to anyone outside the UK but it’s selectable under Blog in the menu. for anyone interested (It’s about the ‘Putney Bridge Jogger’ affair).
A lady in my village told me she was interested in witchcraft and once kitted out her children with talismans. Also, if you haven’t seen it, I wrote a story called If Two Witches Were Watching. It’s essentially a completely true story. I’d never have been able to think it up otherwise!

Yes, it was a weird experience all right. She even said I could live there. They were looking for a lodger!!

Hello folks!
What if humanity learnt to repent? Would it make the world any better? Would it break them when they realised the shadows they created and those that they loved and lived in?
Here are some thoughts: https://lampteacupoverthinking.wordpress.com/2017/08/28/penitence/
Do leave a comment or drop a message. I’d love to hear from you, wonderful person!

Hello, everyone!
Have you ever woke up one day and said, “Wow, I’m old.” to yourself? That happened to me and well, what a moment that was for me, so I wrote a little poem about it. Check it out and leave a comment or two.
Have a great day!

I really appreciate your writing style. Your words flow elegantly. Thank you for sharing. Interacting with other bloggers has grown my site and made blogging so much fun. I also post on the daily prompt and use the word to create a poem. Then I post to a twitter account that I made just for my blog. There’s so many supportive bloggers on twitter as well and twitter handles there just to retweet you. I’ve only been blogging for 2 months but that’s some of the things I do. I hope some of these help. If you have a second could you please check out my blog/writings and let me know what you think? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks! https://bloggerinablogworld.com

Beautiful poem.
As to how to grow your audience, I’d suggest two things:
The first is your tagging. Remember WordPress is okay with up to fifteen Categories and Tags. You’ve used six, poetry twice, and one is spelled wrong; it’s relationships. 🙂
Check out https://wordpress.com/tags for more ideas, but I’d suggest adding Poems, Personal, Thoughts, Musings, Reflections. Devotion, Marriage, Romance.
The other thing is to hang out with other poets by checking other postings in Poems and Poetry. Poets love and share poems; it’s not everyone else’s cup of tea.

Social media really helps for sure. I have FB, Twitter, Tumblr, even a YouTube channel to promote. The order I just put them in is the highest to lowest number of views I get off of them!

Whatever works, that is all that counts! Part of what helps with FB for me is that most of the artists I write about have some sort of FB presence, or a tribute page. So I always try to get those pages to share it. Usually I try a combination of both. Tumblr I still don’t really ‘get’ lol
