Community Pool

Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.

Note: The Community Pool will be closed for maintenance next week (December 25). See you all in 2018!

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.

  1. Hello Community!
    Recently I have been given an opportunity to represent a clothing brand that gives back to communities all around the world. I LOVE this brand and have been a supporter of them for many years now. As a thank you to the brand for the opportunity to represent them, I have written them a “thank you” of sorts.
    They are definitely a brand worth checking out (no I am not profiting by representing them I’m just doing it for fun).

  3. Hello everyone, this is such a wonderful platform.
    My blog is mostly inspiration and messages I receive as personal lessons from the Holy Spirit.

    This is my most recent post

    Musings 😳

    Happy reading.
    Your thoughts are most welcome 😊

      2. I commend you for your bravery. Not many people would agree to dyslexia for fear of being ridiculed. Sadly, I still see it happen even on professional platforms.

        Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re making a positive difference.

        I’m still in the process of gaining followers so can’t help you on that. =)

  5. Hey guys my most recent post is my morning routine which keeps we relaxed every day, especially around the Christmas period. Please comment on what you think and if it’s helpful or anything I can improve:

    Also I’m looking for something that I can create featured title images, if you’ve got any suggestions please let me know.

    I hope to be publishing my “gift ideas for girls” post tonight, so if you’re stuck on thoughts I’ll hopefully have a few up for you soon.

    Thanks in advance!

      4. Teheheh, I think I did that once and I got mad at a lot of people in a very short space of time lol. It really must be a process, it may take me 15 minutes to just get out of bed but it does prepare me for the day and I can trust myself to be sociable and work. I’d love to be able to jump into my day!

    2. Good start! I like the idea of having an advice column. I noticed you have two sets of social media links on your blog but none are actually linked to your profiles. Perhaps get rid of them for now?
      Happy Blogging!

    2. Hey!
      Childhood cartoons make up for some of the best childhood memories! I absolutely loved (I still do) the Loony Toons and even Scooby Doo. Thank you for sharing this post an helping us go through the good ol’ days!🍁

  9. Hi everyone, how are you all doing?

    I am back after a few weeks break – life kinda got in the way, but I though I would write on more post before the Christmas break.

    It’s a fairly festival post, looking at a recent trip to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London.

    I hope you enjoy and as usual, any feedback is appreciated.

    Have a good holiday everyone,

    Dylan. x

  10. Hello all!
    So this last post had to do with rainbows and rain…which is kind of funny since it’s actually been snowing around here 🙂 The rainbow was a metaphor though for the good that we can see in the midst of our pain, if we are blessed with some sunshine added to that rain…more in the post 😉 I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
