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.

  4. Hello All I was hoping you could help as this past week I began my blogging journey as it is something I have wanted to do but lacked the courage. If you can check it out and just let me know your thoughts, concerns and/or feedback I truly would appreciate it. I have no idea how to manage a blog so your feedback will be helpful!

  13. Morning all!

    Get some inspiration in your day with my short post: God’s got a plan.

    2,000 years later, as we once again approach the Easter season, I’d like to emphasize that the God, who had a purpose in allowing his Son to die as an apparent failure also has a purpose in current world events.

    1. Have you already published the post or not because I just clicked on your link and it said ‘page not found’ ?:)

    2. This is a question I sometimes struggle with a little bit – where to ‘pitch’ what I’m writing, on the posts that are more specifically geared towards my subject area.

      For what it’s worth, I think you’re hitting a good balance, the text is clearly specific to the subject, but I think it’s accessible and easy to engage with. Great work!

      1. I agree. And because my subject can often be pretty niche it’s hard to decide whether it is accessible enough – I want people to be able to read and enjoy what they are reading, rather than it being a chore to try and understand.

        Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate your comments and I’m glad I’m on the right track with things ☺

      1. I’m really glad that you can understand it 🙂 until I actually started writing the blog I didn’t realise quite how difficult it would be trying to put complex things into words that everyone can understand. But at the same time I don’t want to make it sound really dull by doing so.

        Thank you for your feedback everyone it’s really reassured me that I’m on the right tracks with what I want people to get out of my blog 😀

  26. Hey everybody! I have now officially joined the 21st-century by creating an Instagram account dedicated to my blog! I’m wondering if there is a way to link it to my WordPress so blog posts will automatically appear on my Instagram account? Any other recommendations for utilizing this avenue of social media would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
