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.

  4. Hey everyone, Happy New, Year!
    https://chasinglife131.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/introverts-and-group-conversations-perspective-24/?preview=true.
    My latest blog post is called, “Introverts and Group Conversations.”
    As an introvert, I’m pretty bad at group conversation. Pretty bad is actually an understatement. This post addresses my struggles wit group conversations. I hope all you fellow introverts can relate. Please read, comment and leave your feedback. Thank you 🙂

    2. I love your blog’s layout and the images you have for your posts are great. You write extremely well. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn’t seem possible to leave comments on earlier posts. Did I miss something or is that by design? Other than that everything is good.

  11. Yippee-Skippee!! It is the very full first week of a brand-new year, and after a much-needed holiday break, yours truly is finally back, super-charged and most ready to go with the most fun posts possible!

    1. Your story brought me to tears- proving that along with being a damn good writer, you are also a wonderful parent. Have you ever read about the law of attraction? I would recommend you read about it when you have the time, it really works. My grandma had cancer but she didn’t know about it (it was a severe stage, too). But she fought it, and she’s healthy as ever now. (I’d like to highlight that she is 78). Sending you loads of love and positivity x

      1. I heard about the law although I would say I see more of “bad things comes in three” type of law in my life:). I think, to your point, you can influence much with positive or envision thinking but it is not that easy when your are inside of an hurricane. Thank you for your love and positivity – really appreciate it.

  14. Here’s this weekend’s tips on managing writer’s block – I write on history but have a few writing tip posts in my blogging category.
    This crazy blogging journey went a little manic yesterday when one post (referred by Facebook – not me – have no clue … ) received 120 views BEST DAY EVER! Total 169 views and 128 visitors!
    FYI – it was my family history post from 4 December that caught everyone’s attention yesterday.
    If you like a little bit of history please feel free to follow and share my posts.

      2. Usually when I get that notification I can’t see where all the traffic is at until later. You’re quite welcome! 🙂
