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 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.
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.
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.

Hi. I recently started a 300 word fortnightly story group. We could still do with a few more members though, so if you might be interested, please drop me a line via the contact page on my blog, To Cut a Short Story Short, and I’ll be happy to send details. If you’d just like to subscribe to the stories (with the option of possibly contributing in the future) then please do likewise (they are sent out by e-mail).
In the meantime, I just published a new story in 600 words, Tiny Demons. Please feel free to check it out!

I like the theme, text and the content. I am wondering if your sidebar has a little too much? I used to have have my sidebar similar to yours-showing my Twitter feed, along with Top Posts, Comments, etc, but I feel like I got better results by putting the icons to my social media, rather than the feed, and putting a smaller tag cloud, and less top posts and comments so it isn’t so ‘busy’. But if its working for you, by all means keep it!

Your blog looks great. I was scrolling here looking for people writing about our election and the results and went to yours. The only constructive feedback I have is to write somewhat shorter posts with more singular subjects to each post.

I really like the consistent branding throughout. I think the only thing I’d suggest would be to have the post images show up in the excerpts on the homepage–if that’s even possible with your theme. It might add a nice brush of color to your blog.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve updated the site and added the featured images to the home page, where the excerpts are. It’s made a huge difference! I might go back and update the posts that don’t have featured images or just ensure that future posts do have them.
Do you think the actual posts should have feautured images showing at the top too? I’m hesitant as it will be the same image as what’s already in the post, so it might look repetitive. What do you think?
Thanks so much for your help! 😀

Lookin’ good! I’d say that featured images could work for you, but I definitely wouldn’t have a repeating image if you can help it.

Hi friends!
I’m still new at this, but have started to push out more posts lately and would love some feedback, suggestions, and topic ideas!
I think I’m going to try to start a “wellness wednesday” weekly post (as long as there’s no mind blocks for topics) but would love yall to take a look around and let me know what you think!
there are two new wellness wednesday posts, and a few other new ones that i’ve published lately!

I would like comments of my latest post about Standing Rock. I usually blog about my near death experience, but this moment in time seemed important to me. https://triciabarkernde.com/2016/12/05/my-heart-has-been-with-standing-rock/

I really enjoyed this piece and share similar sentiments about the history that is not told in our schools. I really enjoy the souls you put into your writing

Hello all!
This week is finals week for me, so today I just published something simple titled “Handwriting (or, Let Me Peek at Your Notes)”.
Coming up Thursday is a post about my relationship with alcohol (which, really, is also fitting for finals week. Ha!).
Hope y’all enjoy!

Hi. I started my blog just over a year ago, .. Haven’t done many posts due to a fairly extended stretch of writer’s block, but would really like to post more regularly. Also want to add links, and tags, but need to learn how… Just did a couple of posts in the last couple of weeks (first in several months…woohoo : ) and would really appreciate any feedback, tips on improving or comments. Here’s how to find it:

Just checked out your site and really like it. Your photos are beautiful, and really enjoyed your “Wordless Wednesday” concept. I noticed that your posts are “Uncategorized” so if you add categories for them it might help the organization of your site a bit. Great stuff!

Hi Everyone. When I started blogging, folks were saying your posts should deal with one topic. Consequently I have two blogs, one specifically for my fiction writing and my main blog for general every-day news & misc,
I’m finding it hard to keep up writing on two levels, though. Would it be smarter to just leave my fiction idle for the most part, maybe post once a month, and keep up the other? Or would it be better to merge the two, throw my fiction stuff onto my regular blog. Has anyone merged two blogs and how does it work?
My two blogs:

I honestly think it’s easier for you to manage if you merge the two blogs. For example on my blog I have tabs for fitness, wellbeing and recipes to keep things seperate. Maybe you could do a similar thing?

Admire your writings..
I think it’ll be easier to manage one blog.. rather than keep tack of two.. Divide them into various tabs and categories…

I mean keep track of two… Sorry I haven’t realized if we could edit the comments yet…

I’ve seen a number of blogs that mix “slice of life” posts with their fiction writing or poetry. Basically, it’s doable and it can work. As a fellow fiction writer, I don’t think I’d necessarily advocate you temporarily idle your craft.
I think you could fuse the two blogs and simply set apart your creative works from your other posts using tags and categories and menus. I don’t think anyone who likes your main blog will have any problem seeing some wonderful creative pieces from you every now and then.
