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. I’ve spent nearly a day working and reworking a new series of drone images, linking them into the menu here:

    Rick’s House & Garden

    The pictures need to be seen big for the detail to be made out, so I went down the route of making pages for each one and adding them in as a featured image to get a 2,000px wide view. If there is an easier way to show them all on one page at 2,000px using twenty seventeen, please let me know!

    Can you follow the picture sequence and does it make sense? Is the site OK to browse around?

    Many of the people who look at my site do not understand menus, links, etc, but I don’t want to talk down to the many who do. Do you think the balance is about right?

    Sorry for asking so many questions. Answers to any of them much appreciated!

Hope you all have a great day!

    1. Hello Sarishboo,
      I would love to talk with you about collaborating since I am trying to start a blog about motivating others to overcome challenges and to believe in themselves. Take a look at some of my old posts and my first two new ones I have finished so far. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions to make my page or content any better and more attractive to readers. I will do the same for yours as well. https://royalchivalry.wordpress.com
      Sincerely,
      G

  20. Hello writers,
    I was able to publish a new post this week, and gave more insight into myself and what I will be focusing on with my blog. I hope many of you find it useful. Please message me with any suggestions you may have as far as if I need any changes to my page or if my writing needs improving. Thank you for all the help. https://royalchivalry.wordpress.com
