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.

  7. Hi all,

    I’m enjoying my blogging…probably more so than I thought I would at the outset a month ago. While it started it’s life planned as a journal of the writing of my follow up novel, I’ve found myself adding more esoteric bits of life, poetry, thoughts, and images

    I would live to hear from anyone as to whether they found similar, if it works well, or is it better having that core theme more strongly represented?

    Cheers

  8. Hello everyone! I write a blog about marine life called Under the Mirror. This week I wrote about giant clams and the important roles they play in coral reef ecosystems. You can find that post here:

    I missed last week’s swim but that week I wrote a post about the personalities of sharks, so it you’re keen you can check that out too:

    I’m always looking for new ideas for future posts, so if there’s an animal or ecosystem or process you always wanted to know about, let me know! Cheers!

    1. A really nice posts! I enjoyed reading it ^.^
      Just one ‘tip’, I (personally) find your subtitle hard to read… Maybe a different colour would make it stand out a bit more? It is a nice title, a shame to hide it in the flowers 😉

  16. Amazing post. I’m just in the process of revamping my blog as well. I had an amazing amount of following but deleted it last year because I was going through a rough patch. I hope to be better now. Currently looking to use the Sela theme. Thanks for the post

  18. Hello all,

    I wrote my first blog post, and I have no idea how it is since I don’t do too much reading/writing. But it was something I wanted to share.

    Being quiet

    Please give some feedback because I really need some opinion to write another post.

    Thank you.

    I would love some feedback on my blog and what niche would be best for me to focus on.
    Parenting, death of a spouse, blended family, step family advice, or just plain ol parenting.
    Advice wanted❤️
