Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.
Welcome to the final edition of the Community Pool! Whether you’ve been a regular here for years or just recently discovered the Pool: thank you for making it such a supportive, lively, and collegial place for bloggers of all stripes.
As always, feel free to share links to your latest post for feedback, or ask a question about your site’s design, publishing cadence, or any other blogging-related topic you’re looking for input on. Since this will be the last time the Pool opens its doors, you’re also welcome to chat with others about any community initiatives you’re interested in starting or share links to existing blogging events you’re part of and think others might be interested in as well.
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.
To help us keep 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.

Hello fellow bloggers!
I’m Samuel, a nature and bird photographer.
I visited a wonderful place called Suomenoja several times this past month, and as I head to new adventures further north, I invite you to visit my gallery of ducks and other inhabitants of this pond, located near Helsinki.
Here is the article: https://eiwawar.wordpress.com/2018/05/30/my-spring-in-suomenoja/
Please feel free to leave me a message, I’ll be happy to talk to you 🙂
Also, as the Community Pool ends, make sure to follow the blog to get the latest updates! Thanks, and see you =)

Hi, I have published my latest blog and I would love some advice on how to keep up consistency with my blogs. Should I not reveal all my cards in one blog? I struggle for topics as a travel blogger when I get busy so advice would be great!

Hi!
i have 3 blogs that i manage easily. I know some others who have more.
the thing is to plan everything in advance for instance. If you have a blog about photography , another about tips and another about cuisine, you must have a time schedule for every one of them. Let’s say Monday for photography , saturday for the cuisine and sunday for the tips.

Bye Community Pool – it’s been fun! A big thanks to the people who have helped me out here over the last few years.
Of course I had to plunge in for one last time to share my latest post. It’s a lighthearted look at flowers that look as if they are people. (Well, kind of.) Take a look and see if you agree!

Please check out my latest blog post. It’s called, “Make It So That Salary Doesn’t Matter”. The basic premise is how as a minority, I no longer care about salary or job promotion. Minorities are historically paid lower than other peers. Below describes the technique I’ve used to counter this fact.

A lifetime of chronic illness has often made me an observer instead of a participant. As if conducting an ethnographic study, I view others with a curious eye. You wouldn’t believe how many people are “too busy.” They have work to do, papers to grade, money to make, somewhere, anywhere, to be but here. The vulnerability and limitations of chronic illness do not permit these distractions, challenging the normative production rat race. Someday the healthy people of the world will be scurrying ahead when tragedy strikes. Somebody they love will die, and all at once, the tedious multitasking will become heartbreakingly superfluous. Busy can wait. Life won’t. Be here now; be here now with those you treasure.
