Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.
Note: The Community Pool will be closed for maintenance between April 9-16. See you back on April 23!
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.

“What is the definition of procrastination?

Ha, get it?
Hi, community poolers! Most recently I wrote a blog post just to get the ball rolling. This post is different from my others as its main purpose is to literally get me back into blogging regularly.
I’ve fallen off the blogging wagon for a couple of months due to traveling (and it’s harder to write while traveling than it sounds). I wonder if any of you have had similar experiences? Would love to connect. 🙂

I normally start a draft blog when something comes to mind even if it is just a tittle. This helps me come back and write as time permits. Then, I just finish what inspires me and schedule the post. Not sure if this helps.

I’m new to the Community Pool conversation. Do comments posted in the WordPress Reader also get posted to your blog? I ask because I went in to read your new post and saw one comment there, but lots in my Reader.
When I comment on posts in the Community Pool, should I comment in the Reader or on the blogger’s blog?
I liked your lead to your post, acknowledging you’d been gone. Once I clicked through, the photo made me want to learn more about Vietnam. And read what you have to say about it. Thanks!

I’m not sure if I understood your question correctly, so feel free to correct me if I did not.
Comments that you post here (in the Community Pool) stay in the Community Pool, which is why it’s so important to leave the comments and Likes on people’s blogs.
In order to write comments in the Reader, you have to be following that specific blog. Those comments DO post to their sites.
Does that answer it?
LikeLiked by 2 people
You did answer it. So good job deciphering my question!
I assume that same protocol applies on the First Friday queries, i.e. if I’m checking out a new blogger and want my comments to show up on their blog, I need to go to their blog. Otherwise, any comments I make on the First Friday “feed” (terminology! Ack!) stays on the feed.
Your answer makes sense. Thanks so much for answering it.

Hi,
I do a lot of travelling, but as I only began this blog in January, July will be the first time I will be managing a blog whilst doing so. Thinking ahead, I imagine I will use the schedule function. As I only post once a week, it shouldn’t be too difficult to put enough together for a month away. I know from the past that with the busyness of travelling, I barely get enough time to keep a travel journal, let alone blog posts, plus in July I will be going to some far-out places, camping in the African wilderness/ deserts, so I very much doubt chances of WIFI.
I hope you had a wonderful time on your travels, Vietnam is an incredible place from the random stacks of Halong Bay to the war stories of Cu Chi Tunnels. I was lucky enough to stay with one of the hill tribes there for a short while. I got completely wellied on the tribe chief’s suspect-looking moonshine :O
I loved your post about the driving. Yes, they drive quite crazy at times! Did you see some of the ways people transported goods on top of their mopeds? Got some epic pictures whilst there, one guy had three fat, fully-grown pigs tied on top of one another, alive! It was comedy and complete cruelty all at once!

Hello Beautiful People!
Snow again in Ohio…ick. Surely the melt must be permanent soon, right?
I wrote a post last week about taking a few days off work, and how this should make me happy, but it doesn’t (sadly, I am back at my job today). The post is titled “Headed Home” https://collectivecogitations.wordpress.com/2018/03/27/im-heading-home/.
I want to know if any of you have made a big life or career change, and how that affected you and your loved ones. I’m currently going through a difficult time. I accept that I’m not happy with my current life, but I’m unsure of how to change this.
Let me know how your leap into the unknown changed you for the better, or for the worse.

Hello wonderful souls!
It’s been ages since I was active on the community pool or even WordPress and I’m really glad to have come back to this lovely place.🌸
It really makes me happy to see and read all these amazing blogs and get to meet new people! I’d really love if you review and/or help me with my new blog which focuses on an ugly truth of our society.
Thanks in advance! Have a great week ahead.❤️
