Community Pool

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:

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.

    2. Great post! I’m from a journalism background, but originally majored in English to be a teacher, and it’s so great seeing posts about writing and editing. Reading blog posts, I can’t help correcting grammar in my head if I see something wrong. I would also LOVE to write a fictional novel one day. But it’s so hard for me to stay motivated and keep going. I’ll be checking in to your blog to see more tips!!

  6. Happy Monday everyone! I posted my latest “Married Monday” post on how to fight successfully and would love if anyone would check it out! Thanks!

    “Every couple fights, it’s inevitable. Whether the fight is about something small like taking out the trash or something significant like financial issues, there will be times when the two of you don’t see eye to eye. Most people think that fighting means something is wrong within the relationship, and to some degree that can be true. What’s worse than fighting is…” https://millennialmrsandmom.wordpress.com/2017/11/06/how-to-fight-successfully-married-mondays/

    1. For someone who is very much a techie, this is as good as blasphemy – haha! But i do understand the necessity of disconnecting especially when these devices have become an addition.

      Thanks for sharing the post, appreciate it! 🙂

    Sorry to those I splashed! Hello everyone! Familiar faces and new faces! Hi! Hi! Hi! Can you tell I’ve had two coffees in a row…?

    Today I went off on a bit of a tangent, but I hope my post is still enjoyable; it’s about missed connections. I was going to discuss how they helped me heal my heartbreak in the past but then life got in the way…. Hope you enjoy the ones I found anyway!

      4. Thanks! That would be lovely! Are you in Canada? My grandfather and great uncle fought in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during WWI, both served in France. We do have a lot to thank their generations for.

  18. Happy, happy Monday everyone!
    I am a book blogger and I post book reviews and bookish pictures here. And sometimes writings by me so that you get the chance to pick a stranger’s brain.

  21. Happy Monday, folks!

    I just launched my new blog. I eventually want it to be a lifestyle/professional site, but right now I am using it to offer short advice posts, mostly for those who are new professionals and have just graduated from college. I would love to hear feedback on my site design and any posts that draw your eye.

    Here is the site address: https://jasmineivhunter.com.

    I am also still working on my About page… it’s always hard to write about myself!
