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:
- Learn, a series of step-by-step tutorials for those just starting out.
- All our posts on building an audience and growing your traffic.
- If you’re stuck for inspiration, here are our Daily Prompts and other ideas for writing topics.
- A roundup of posts on blogging etiquette.
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.
Looking for free, self-guided courses to help you get started with your blog (or revive a dormant one)? Check out our current offerings at Blogging U.

Hi fellow Bloggers,
I’ve just noticed that adverts have started appearing at the top of my blog and assume it’s because I just have a free plan. It’s only just started happening but I had no warning and to be honest it’s spoilt the whole look of the pages. Does anyone know if just purchasing the basic £3 month plan will remove those ads? any advice most welcome.
Thanks
Jon

Hi, yes purchasing the basic plan does remove ads. If you move up to the next level, you can opt in to having ads for payment through clicks. If you go to your dashboard and view plan options you can see all the things that you get with each specific plan. Hope that helps.

If you purchase an upgrade your links will change so that you don’t have WordPress in your site name I.e. I was http://www.widowcranky.wordpress.com I am now just http://www.widowcranky.com, ads will be removed and you get support from the WordPress engineers

Hey, we were all beginners once and being part of the blogging community will really help your understanding and knowledge, so don’t panic đŸ™‚ I like your blog, but there are a few minor layout issues. On the Addition post (and I am currently reading on a laptop) the second bank of text appears at the top as the picture pushes the first bank of text down. This meant I started reading from “As we were leaving my husband couldn’t help…” it would help your readers if this was one continual flow of text otherwise it’s only when you scroll down the page do you realise that you have started half way through. You can easily customise this in your theme area. Also if you preview your post once you either published or scheduled you can look at the layouts for PC, Tablet and Phone to ensure that the formatting looks good on all devices. đŸ™‚
