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.

  2. Hello everyone! I’m sticking to my resolutions for 2018, and I just started my first series on my blog. I’m going to be looking back at each month and ruminate about everything. Here’s my February update. Would love it if you guys can give it a read and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

  6. I’m a bit late to the party, but could I get some general feedback for my blog – mostly on layout and readability, things I could add or should take away, etc.

    Also, I’m always looking for content related collaborators to write guest blogs and other such fun things, so it that interests you in any way, I’d love to hear from you~

    Thank you
    ❤

    2. I like this post a lot. The only critique I have is to maybe separate the sentences into paragraphs and maybe use a slightly bigger font to make it more readable. Good Job!

    2. I feel your pain. It’s a struggle for me to get traffic to my site as well. I feel that if I can only get people to read what I’m writing they will find it helpful and motivational to them. Just keep writing and posting and your audience will find you. That’s what I tell myself everyday 🙂

  27. Hey there! 🙂
    We are three teens for whom writing is a heartfelt passion. We don’t write to impress or become famous, but for the pure delight and satisfaction we feel every time we put pen to paper. We started this blog so we’d have for ourselves a humble shelf in this vibrant world, called the ‘internet’, for all the creativity gushing through us.

    What about the other stuff in our teenage life? Like 10th boards? College seats? They do insistently ring the doorbell and knock the door a hundred times a day, but they get limited visiting hours and as far as we are concerned, writing and they get along just fine!
