Community Pool

Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.

The Community Pool is now five years old! To everyone who’s helped it grow and become such a thriving, friendly space for our blogging community: thank you!

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. Beautiful photos! Only one observation…your site title is so long it pushes your follow button off the page, you could shorten the title and add a tag line so it fits 🙂 otherwise lovely blog and I look forward to seeing more from you.

  1. Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great day. This is an extract of my recent poem Maze :

    “Our beautiful lives turned into a maze,
    with our words and gestures
    turning so twisted and cruel
    that they left us in a daze.

    All the love we once had is gone,
    leaving us in an endless misery.
    In this endless labyrinth,
    we’ve turned from friends to pawns.”

    Love,

      1. Hey, your blog is nicely laid out and easy to read. Being English I don’t relate to the Super Bowl so well lol, but this post can definitely be applied to any other type of gathering.
