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:
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.
