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 don’t really have anything too important to say. I post my art and use WordPress as a public diary. It’s practice for writing my book, and an outlet I use to stave off insanity. I wouldn’t mind some critiquing of my writing style and my art.
    Thank you, fellow Earthlings.

    1. Great post! I’ve never been to Cardiff. I did notice that you are using a lot of tags. WordPress anti spam filters out all posts with more than 15 categories and tags combined. This will stop search engines from selecting your blog so you may want to amend to only the most appropriate. Hope this helps 🙂

  12. I’ve just moved and spend the majority of my time on my own. Even work has me on my own for the main part. The only time I have company is when I retreat into my head to dream.

  17. Hey Everyone! I’ve recently started up a new blog and I’d love some feedback….I debated whether to join the group here today, as my most recent post is a bit more serious than I typically prefer to be. Nevertheless, I’m also looking forward to finding some great reading myself!

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi, great post! Couldn’t see where to comment! I actually have a book in the boot of my car! My kids are in their twenties and it fell out of a bag for the charity shop. It’s amazing what you manage to keep over the years! 🙂

  20. Hi!!
    I wrote a new piece on my personal blog about why you shouldn’t be scared of an artificial intelligence! https://bhaviksblogs.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/why-you-shouldnt-be-scared-of-an-ai/

    Also, I have been experimenting with a new blogging site and I opened my second website that is dedicated to writing product reviews in the technology market! This link https://bobstechsupport.wordpress.com/2018/02/23/welcome/ tells you more about it! It is new so I would love to get feedback on the design and content.
    So please check it out and thank you to everyone who follows my sites!
