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.

    2. Loved your post, “To Rule the World”
      We tend to want what others have, but as you said, it is important to be grateful for what you hold.

      Also, great layout. I like the simplicity of it.

  10. Hi everyone! I have a pop culture blog and in my most recent post I wrote a response to a popular film criticism YouTube series called Everything Wrong With. I would definitely appreciate some feedback – specifically on whether or not I am too dismissive of CinemaSins/Everything Wrong With and whether or not my arguments and logic are sound.

    In Defense of “Roll Credits” Moments

    I would greatly appreciate feedback and would definitely give feedback in return. Thank you so much! Happy blogging!

  12. Good morning/evening fellow bloggers!
    Yes I agree we all have Monday blues but I would really be glad if you could take out some time and read my latest poem. Its on student suicide and parent- children relationship. Giving no more spoilers, here’s the link.

    The poem is titled ‘Lost’.
    I would really love to hear your feedback and I sincerely hope you like it! Stay happy! Don’t regret!

  14. Hello everyone! In my last post, I addressed the question of what we truly and deeply need in life from a roundabout angle, using a story of my recent attempts to deal with my out-of-control messiness (maybe hoarding would be the right word 🙂 ). I would love to hear your thoughts on the post!

  21. Hello Community Bloggers. Today is a bank holiday in my neck of the woods so I jumped in early to tell you about my weekend getaway which is still on going. Here’s the link
    http://comewithg.blog/2018/01/22/yoga-and-healing-foods-retreat-little-cayman/read, enjoy and comment. By the way I am approaching my first year blogging anniversary and take the opportunity to thank the followers from this forum. As if today it is 85. Thanks for your support and comments. I have followed quite a few of you as well. I do think that genuine engagement is key to increasing readership. ❤️

      2. Thank you so much! Hopefully I’ll be able to continue to produce worthy content. Since my blog centers around my thoughts, I should be able to keep it up with this crazy mind of mine 😂
