Community Pool

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:

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.

    1. Your blog is great! You’ve got some really strong content. In terms of feedback, is the title of the site intentionally “Site Title”? I only ask because that could actually be quite a punchy title if that’s what you’re going for! Apart from that, it’s brilliant! 😀

      I’d be thrilled to see you over at my blog too! http://www.nonalcoholicstudent.wordpress.com

  9. Hey everyone!
    I’ve returned to blogging for a year and I’m so excited to start afresh and new! Check out my latest blog post! It’s in honour of National Poetry Month! It’s not the best blog post you’ll find, but it’s vulnerable and it’s genuine which is what I’m always striving towards, to be as real as possible

    Here’s a link to it! Check it out and let me know how y’all feel!

    Drifting, fighting.

  12. Hi. I am wondering if I have organized my blog in a clear manner.

    My blog is literally a collection of my thoughts on all different topics. I also write in two languages, Polish and English. I have a separate page for just Polish posts. I have a follower who writes her posts in two languages too but she does one post in both languages where I usually just do one language and don’t translate it.
    Do you think I should also translate all my post and have them all in both languages?

    My last post is actually from the daily prompt, check it out:

    2. I enjoyed reading your blog. However, I do agree with lily B that it was a bit difficult to read because the font color is so similar to the background color.

  27. Hey everyone – re-vamped my site after shutting down my previous one. Then life got in the way and I’m just now getting around to posting again (since January – sad I know). If you’re interested in mom blogs, check it out! Love good feedback and critique.
