Title | It only takes a sprinkle...
First Impression | First thought was: Aw, it’s tink. I like Tinkerbell. But other than that this layout doesn’t seem to be, well, appealing. ||3/5||
Template / Layout | Hm. I have seen layouts that are very similar to this all over the place, but as of yet, I haven’t seen this exact layout, so that’s something, I guess. It is organized and the like, but it just comes off as a kind of a childish layout. One suggestion I have concerns the image. I think it all might fit a bit more nicely if the green and purple stars weren‘t divided onto either side of Tink... they should be sprinkled evenly, both colors on either side. It would just be more appealing the eye and it would kinda draw everything together a bit more. Another thing is that the page looks somewhat cluttered. I can see the organization and all, but there is just so much going on through all of it... it seems somewhat crowded.7/10
As far as how much I like this layout is concerned, I’m kinda torn on the matter. I feel like this could be a really awesome layout with a little work. It’s not that its bad now, just that I know how it could be better. I like it, but I don’t love it is what I’m trying to say, I guess. And on top of that... I loathe the font. But that‘s neither here nor there.8/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||15/20||
Contacts | Geez, girly. You got it going on in the contacts department. ||6/5||
Navigation / Organization | This is a pretty organized layout. I do have one small issue with things though. Your prev link is weird. It lets me click on it once from the index page, but after that it just doesn‘t seem to work. That annoys the hell outta me. Gah.
edit: I was looking around your diary a bit more before I posted this review and realized I sporadically encountered the same problem with some of your other links... don’t know exactly what causes the problem, but I won’t dock your points for it. ||10/10||
Errors | Your buddylist thingy on your archive page is screwy. And you put the links for diaries in the “%” things and they don’t always come out right. ((that’s the same problem I’m getting with the buddylist thing I believe.)) Also, there are some words that you have spelled wrong... but not too many. So it’s not so bad. ||2/5||
Content | Hm. It was odd. While I was reading your diary, there were times when I felt like I could relate completely to you. ((example: the cleaning and wanting exercise and trying to save up money and shit.)) Other times your entries seemed kinda bland. Either way, I wasn‘t really drawn in so much. I dunno. I liked your diary, it just didn‘t capture my attention quite as much as I would have liked. 18/25
You are a decent writer. Your entries flow and make sense. Maybe you could add a little, I dunno, oomph to your writing to make it a little more interesting. Other than that, your writing is pretty decent. 18/20
TOTAL CONTENT ||36/45||
Extras | You got ‘em. ||5/5||
Repeat Visits? | Doubt it. ||2/5||
Final Score | Decent diary. ||79/100||
Comments | I think I reviewed this once before but then lost the review... they may be why its taken me so long to get to this review... cause I‘m a jackass and delete shit from my comp for no reason. Sorry bout that. Decent diary, though.
