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 everyone!
Mike Lukas here, nice to meet ya.
I just discovered this great pool of creative brains and I’m anxious, er, excited to hear what you fine bloggers have to say.
My 2 month old blog is called American Humanist https://mikelukas.blog/ and I use my humor and life experience to break down a particular current issue or a news story or a personal event and impart a humanist (think Buddhist) perspective to it. Besides being entertaining and consistent, my initial goal, as is all of yours, I’m sure, is to build up a larger readership.
My question is this: Is it best for a blog to focus on one particular angle of subject matter (politics, family stuff, new events) and specialize only in that, or is it okay to use all subjects as long as your personal perspective, POV, and writing style remains consistent?
Thanks so much for whatever insight you can share!
I look forward to hearing what you have to say and checking out YOUR blog.
Take care,
Mike

I love it. Great work and the description you have given here is apt.
And as for the question, I am trying to write my blog in only a particular angle, as that was the aim behind mine. So, there is some trouble in finding new topics that goes with the angle and type of presentation chosen. If you think that this won’t be an issue in your case, I think this would be best.

Thanks, Nibras, I appreciate you checking it out. You’re so right, choosing topics is much fun but extremely challenging – so many to choose from, which one for today???
I feel like I have something to say about everything so I’m not worried about running out of ideas or topics. I guess I’m curious if the readers read blogs for the niche, or for the writing, or for both. I’d hate to confuse them with my content.
Your blog, for instance, is a great example of finding a cool niche and running with it. As a fellow lunatic, 🙂 I really appreciated your take on ‘nostalgia’ from that particular POV. I’ll be interested in seeing how you go about choosing topics as time goes on – I think it’ll be a lot of fun for you to apply the lunatic’s lens to each little aspect of the world.
Best of luck, and again, thanks for checking it out!
Talk later,
Mike

Really enjoyed your latest post! I personally think that you should write about everything that you want to write about. If you want your blog to almost be an extension of yourself or the documentation of your thoughts, feelings and life then I feel it should be as multifaceted as you are. I mean I started my blog to write about and explain science things that interested me but I also to document my gap year which means that there will be a huge variety of posts as I’m doing a huge variety of things. I think I might get bored trying just to write scientific articles, so I like it that I have given myself the freedom to write about a bunch of things!

Hey I really liked your post.

Hey, thanks for the comment. Comments are such a mess once you move away from wordpress.com! Hopefully it’s been fixed now.
As for the length, I am aware it might have been a bit too long. I’ll know for next time. I was wondering if articles of this length won’t better in the long term, however, when people search for them on Google and want a lot of content? What do you think?

You do an awesome job breaking it up with engaging pics. I think it all depends on what your blogs direction is. If you are looking to present with posts that are analytical and informative, then definitely keep at it and stay true to your length. You might lose individuals that don’t want a ‘commitment read’. It’s all a matter of author style and reader preference, but I always recommend playing to your strengths as a writer and being consistent because your fans will always know what they want and it will rarely change ie: re-releasing every movie ever made.
