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:
- Learn, a series of step-by-step tutorials for those just starting out.
- All our posts on building an audience and growing your traffic.
- If you’re stuck for inspiration, here are our Daily Prompts and other ideas for writing topics.
- A roundup of posts on blogging etiquette.
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.
Looking for free, self-guided courses to help you get started with your blog (or revive a dormant one)? Check out our current offerings at Blogging U.

Hi fellow bloggers!
Recently I’ve been in my feelings following a 3 year relationship breakup. This has led to lots of overthinking, negative thoughts and insecurity.
I wrote a blog post titled: “The Mind That Never Sleeps” to evoke my feelings at this moment in time.. trying to remain positive☺️
Do have a read and share your thoughts on the blog if you feel inspired to do so:

Hey fellow bloggers,
I just launched a new post about the strangest traditions and festivals around the world: https://197travelstamps.com/strangest-traditions-and-festivals/
Currently, the article lists the 5 strangest traditions and festivals. But the idea is to expand it further. So if anyone of you knows about an amazing tradition or festival that would fit my post, I would be happy if you could leave me a comment and I will try to integrate it.
We are people from all over the world here and I am sure we can find some more awesome traditions in addition to jumping over babies, fire cracker festivals and the others I have mentioned so far.
Happy blogging and a happy week to all,

Well, what is weird to one person is perfectly normal to someone else.
In the UK we have village festivals rolling cheeses downhill, carrying barrels of burning tar on shoulders, firing shotguns in orchards at the dead of a winter night and dancing around a wooden horse on May Day!!!
To an outsider all decidedly “different” and probably “weird,” I guess it’s part of the rich tapestry that makes humans so interesting!
Good thought provoking writing, I loved it.
