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.

I clicked on the third link and it worked.
I like the overall aura of your blog but at one instance it became niche specific. Like it initiated from generality and gradually moved towards specific audiences (or i can say south-indian audience).
Nonetheless, good effort.
It was nice visiting your blog

First of all thanks a lot for stopping by✨
Coming to the point that you mentioned, basically my blog doesn’t have a specific direction. I personally do not want it to be confined to a certain broad topic. Maybe certain posts were meant for the Indian audience, but overall I aim to be as general as possible.
Anyway, I’m so glad you visited my blog and shared your thoughts!✨

Good morning from Oklahoma! I am a fairly new blogger and would love some feedback on my website. I am having a hard time creating different pages, I recently transferred from Wix which is incredibly simple in terms of directory through the website. When I create a new page it gives me very little functionality. Do I need to go back to .html basics and actually create my own buttons? I also feel that some of my blog posts are cut a little short. I can admit I’ve been kind of pumping them out to get content out and re-editing them as I go. Thanks xx mal

Hello! I’m just another blogger, hoping to teach others about genetics and GMOs. I made my blog to help with this goal, but my views have plummeted for a couple weeks. Nowadays, I’m lucky if I can get 10 views and more than 2 visitors. I would appreciate any feedback and always would like suggestions. If you’ve noticed that I haven’t posted much lately, I’ve been very busy and have been cramming to study for tests. I’m always trying to write, so just know that chances are, I’m trying to write a post. Hope I see you on my blog!

Hey, I just checked out your blog and it looks beautiful! Not sure how long you’ve been blogging for but I wouldn’t get too hooked on followers and stats which people tend to do. I think reaching out and connecting with other bloggers as well as sharing on social media if you choose is a good way to increase those. No one will find you if you don’t connect but it all comes over time 🙂
I noticed your instagram widget wasn’t working when I checked on your site so not sure if there is a problem there?

It’s hard though cause I know if your aim is to overall make money from your blog the followers and stats is what companies focus on.

But I can’t keep doing that. Plus…I lost all my likes 😦

People’s blogs are a reflection of them…yours is a reflection of you. I find myself changing themes and directions many times. In the end it always seems to reflect my mood or what I want. It has a way of secretly directing me where I need to go. My current blog was just started this month and was created after I deleted the last one that was a month old (someone stole something off my site–wasn’t happy–but I learned). Right now I need to get organized (in life)–I just changed to the more organized site this past week. I didn’t intend to do that, but it told me to…lol. You will find what works for you and makes you happy. 🙂
