The place for advice, feedback, and friendly blogging chatter.
Have you just published a new post and are dying for some feedback? Did you recently start your blog and could use some layout or design advice from your more seasoned peers?
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).
To help us make the Community Pool a productive space for discussion, here are some tips you might find useful:
TIP: 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- Please keep all comments civil and constructive. The idea is to have fun — it’s a pool, after all!
- If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
- No running on the deck.

Hello! Leisel from Skill Up Skillet here, a weekly updated geek and game themed food blog. If you enjoy gaming, geek culture, food, and/or sarcastic humor you’ll probably enjoy what I have to offer. Last week I managed to semi-significantly injure myself in the kitchen so last Thursday’s post went up earlier this morning. Check it out and let me know what you think; I literally shed blood and flesh for this one. Seriously, with this post you are not allowed to say I’m not passionate about my hobby. You’re just not. =P
Half-Life Crab Cakes: http://skillupskillet.com/2015/08/24/half-life-headcrab-crab-cakes/
This is the only crab cake recipe you’ll ever need in your life. Also, this is the first-ever post where I use a sarcasm font. And I flip my skillet off. Good stuff here. Can’t wait to see what everyone has going on today. Tell me happy things; it’s rush season at work and I hate everything. I may adjust this opinion after 4 more cups of coffee.

Fantastic post! The stats really are shocking. I would only add one more stat to it – women always get paid less than men in Hollywood, even if they are lead actresses. Emma Watson pointed this out in her UN speech, and the Sony hacking scandal revealed Jennifer Lawrence got 5% (I presume film revenue) while Bradley Cooper got 10%. Hollywood really needs to wake up and do something about this.

It is a weird thing really, if you stay inside wordpress.com and just buy your domain through them, I think it pretty much stays the same. If you move to hosting your own through the wordpress.ORG site though, it is almost like you are starting from scratch again. I’ve heard of people getting the wordpress.com support staff to move the current followers to the new domain though which could help out a ton with traffic

i like your writing style – definitely worth carrying on and watching your audience grow as they find you – keep posting here once a week so people know where to look as well as commenting on other people’s blogs as well – i would suggest adding in line breaks between paragraphs to help break up your text as opposed to just a paragraph break…
so a space in between paragraphs cos it gives the eye a chance to rest and the reader a chance to breathe otherwise seeing a big block of text can feel a little overwhelming. But word wise it is great so definitely keep in and be encouraged…
An About tab at the top would be great with a short bio of who you are and what you’re trying to do.

I’m sorry I took so long, but I’m too busy reading and pondering on every post there. I am happy to see that we Christians can be open with these things that have so easily beset a great number of us and I can only encourage you to continue. This is what the church is for and the whole essence of the unity of the brethren. Thank you.

Hi Daniela, I just visited your site and enjoyed reading one or two of your posts. “White House” is a story which grasped my mind and I believe you could easily develop it further. I wanted to know more about the main character. What does she do next? I didn’t notice a comments button or I would have commented on your blog. Perhaps you should add a space for comments. I’m sure you will soon be getting feedback if you do. I like the fact that your blog puts the focus on your words and there are no unnecessary distractions. You have talent. Keep on writing! Regards, Margie

I adore your blog. Its so casual and I love the fact that you write like you’re having a conversation. Its also not restricted, which means you can talk about anything. I saw those beautiful books and the pretty journal, hope you’re using it. Trust me, it’s worth it.

I’ve only had a quick look, but I like the way you write! Like anything if you keep at it you will continue to improve and people will take an interest; it has taken me quite a while to build up even the small amount of followers I have! I would definitely suggest you comment on the community pool every time you make a new post, with a brief description of the post itself. I wish you the best of luck!

Was wondering if I’m going to far out of my niche. The stuff in my niche (balance and moderation) doesn’t seem to be getting any traffic. Wondering if I could get some feedback if I should change my blogs theme. here are two post I recently wrote. Let me know which has more appeal.

A personal preference, but I felt your voice more in the latter one– the school post. I don’t mind the theme, it’s clean and orderly, and easy to read, (the most important things!) but it lacked the flurry of personality that I felt in the posts. Both posts were enjoyable reads. Thank you for sharing them.

Hi Fatima, nice blog. My suggestion is to choose either text-based or photo based theme as per your future content. I feel current one is bit cluttered. Also use tags and about me page to increase traffic. Thanks. Keep blogging.
