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.

    1. Great post! While waiting for the fries to cook a McDonalds employee used my cardboard holder to tap the skin around her mouth, I called her out and asked for a new cardboard box and she denied doing it! The customer behind shouted I saw you too! I bet she never did that again!

  8. Hey writers! I recently posted an article describing a possible fix the immigration conflict going on right now in the U.S. Check it out, and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear different perspectives.

    1. I agree with you. The larger richer nations contribute to the situation of economic migrants. People should have more options to build their own countries. Immigration should be optional for family, health or education.

    1. I also find myself disappearing off the face of the earth 🙂 It seems much easier than confronting the world, but you are definitely right– it always makes me feel worse! Great blog!!!

    1. I Like your blog a lot, however I find it quite hard to navigate, I wanted to see some more of the things you’re doing and neither “blog” not “just scribbled thoughts” lead me where I wanted to go. Your theme needed a long time to load as well (but maybe thats just my crappy internet right now) anyways: maybe it would be a good Idea to clean up your layout a little to make your blog easier to navigate so people actually find back to your content…
