Community Pool

Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.

Note: Starting this week, each Community Pool post will be open for two days. Comments will then be closed until we publish the next Community Pool. Enjoy the swim!

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. Dipping my toe in the water to get some feedback. I started my blog as a bit of a bucket list to fifty, but also as a way of coping with caring for a quadraplegic for the last 16 years. It’s popularity is far beyond anything I thought would happen. So now here I am struggling to understand my identity. This blog is about so many different things I’m wondering what category this belongs in?
    I would love to read anyone’s blog in return!

  12. Hey guys,

    If you don’t know me, hi, hello I’m Ellen, blogger at ZyraKuma and I blog about lifestyle, self-wellbeing, productivity and relationship.

    Update: I’ve been busy with school (cuz school is very important to me) so I wasn’t able to post a blog post last week nor will I do it for a few days. However, I have been updating my blog for the past few days during my break times so some posts might be an oldie.
    Don’t worry, I will be posting whenever I have free time.
    Note – Guest posting is open (for the topics in my intro) so if you’re interested, feel free to contact me through the “contact page” 🙂

    Here’s a few favourite of mine:

    1. I’m heading over to your blog now! A little advice from someone who has done the exact same things as you when they started: remember to put www. in front of your link because otherwise wordpress doesn’t create a hyperlink to your blog! 🙂
