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.

  15. Hi
    I wrote this post as a tribute to my Auntie who didn’t make it to see the outcome of the pregnancy. Yesterday Bristol university held a memorial afternoon for her with speakers from all over England. I wasn’t able to make but wanted to share this once again as a tribute to an incredible woman who fought for black rights, and worked with endless family’s as a social worker. She is missed

    1. I liked the layout of your blog. Looked clean and kinda elegant. Feel free to add an archives widget on your side bar and a most read stories widget as well. I’m not sure how well they work, but it may encourage your readers to look at some of your older stories as well.

    2. I think it’s great you found a way to share your Instagram content on your blog. I think Instagram is like my mini blog posts that tie back to my WordPress site. I think your photos tie in nicely to your blog theme.

  19. Hey guys,
    I would like to welcome you to my new blog http://centiscript.wordpress.com
    Which is about beauty, cosmetics and personal thoughts.

    Please give it a try, it is different from the other beauty blogs by its variety of sources and topics.
    As I travel a lot, I’ll be able to provide new info that will be hard to find in a regular cosmetic blog.

    I’ll be happy to hear your comments, advice and know you as well.

    Happy blogging

    1. Hello, nice post. I like the topic. I haven’t been to many musicals but I did see Wicked a few years ago. I thought it was a great performance and it made me want to read the book.

    2. Hello Sunra, I love your art (the color!) and your writing style! Especially this line, ” drawing doesn’t need to make sense either but after a while it does.”
