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.

Today in My Instruction Manual, I write about how traumatic events can be a catalyst for positive change.
https://myinstructionmanual.com/2017/10/23/traumatic-events/
The post is partly based on an interview I did last night for the soon-to-be launched My Instruction Manual podcast. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback here and on the post itself.
Looking forward to reading your posts too!

Hi Keith, this was a very impactful read. As someone who lived through a natural disaster in Thailand in ’04, I can relate to much of what you reference in this post. I was in my late teens at the time, and though the experience was incredibly traumatizing in many ways, it definitely was a catalyst for change, and ultimately put me on course for a more positive and fulfilling life. I look forward to listening to the podcast and will check out some of the recommended reads you outlined, as well!

Happy Monday everyone,
I recently wrote a post about the most annoying/frustrating Adobe Illustrator functions and I thought I’d ask this questions here. What do you find most frustrating about blogging? I am probably one of the only computer illiterate 25 year olds on the planet so I would definitely say the basic coding involved with customizing your blog is so annoying. I still haven’t changed my website title or the size of my blog post titles because I cannot figure out how to.

I think the most frustrating thing for me has been trying to find the right balance between quality and quantity. At first I was trying to post several times per week and I was sometimes “mailing in” my posts to try to get them up frequently. I was also re-blogging which was frustrating for some of my readers. Now I’m posting less frequently but trying to make sure each post provides quality and value for readers.
LikeLiked by 8 people
I had that same problem when I started my blog. I used to post two times a week on Monday and Friday and all of the Friday blog posts had a similar theme. I think I always knew that the Friday blog posts were horrible and I eventually had to decide the same thing about quantity and quality and stop posting on Fridays altogether.

My goodness, I am currently enrolled in a graphic design course that involves learning Adobe Illustrator so I can totally relate!
Circling back to the question you raised here, the “challenging” thing I find about blogging at the moment is posting regularly. As Keith mentioned above, I too am keen on posting nothing but what I feel is the best I can do. So, finding the right balance between frequent and good posts is what I’m aiming to achieve.
LikeLiked by 8 people
I am hoping that will just come with time. I made the mistake of starting out my blog too ambitious with how many times I posted a week and it really affected the quality of my posts but hopefully we can both find a balance.

Ya, after I finished writing this I thought of another one which probably just happens to me but is equally annoying. Nearly once and sometimes twice a day Adobe Illustrator decides that I no longer want to work in CMYK but instead grayscale and I cannot figure out for the life of me why it changes. It must be something I am doing like there is a keyboard shortcut I don’t know about that I might be pressing but it’s very annoying.

Yaaay! I have a feeling you will love it up here too. Although to be honest, the start of walks here can be tough as the trails are often really steep!

Hi everyone! I have a pop culture blog and this past week I did a spooky post about clowns for Halloween. I would greatly appreciate some feedback. My primary concern is that this post is a little all over the place. Also – a funny concern but a legitimate one – do I use the bold text too much? I use bold text to drive home a point but if I use it too much, does it become distracting? The post is here:
If you give me (substantive) feedback, I will gladly check out your blog and/or give feedback. Happy blogging! 🙂

Fun post, and a decent theory about clowns! Thanks! And no I don’t think your use of bolding is distracting–didn’t bother me.

Hi Bloggers,
Looking for feedback…. Boring? Interesting? Well-written enough to keep you reading? https://jefftcann.com/2017/10/23/one-car-no-truck/

I enjoyed the read! Definitely not boring, and well written enough that I read the whole thing! 😁 my husband wrote an article over the summer about our new to us vehicle we got at a steal of a deal. I think that if you can make one vehicle work, that’s probably your best option, but if not, buying used, and in your budget, and not having to get a loan would be a good second option. We’re advocates for not spending money if you don’t have it.

I’m not a car girl, so I may not be your audience. However, I am a writer. A little advice, since you asked: I felt the car details went on a little too long. What I wanted to get to in my reading of this short essay was the crux of this problem for you. It’s more than the fact of not having a second car, right? It’s about security, maybe even reputation. Do you think this might bring you closer to the truly financially insecure who you come into contact with? How has this/will this maybe change your perspective? These are things I wondered as I read. Just my two cents. Best of luck!

This is a problem of mine. I spend way too much time on the build-up and then rush through what is probably the important part. I thought about your comment in context to what I posted this morning and I see that I did it again. Thanks for that feedback, I’ll try to put it to use.
