Title | it's close to paradise...but so far at the same time
First Impression | Yucky image, good colors. I like the words on the image, though... I just dislike the appearance of the image itself. It makes me want to rub my eyes to see it more clearly. Meh. ||3/5||
Template / Layout | Okay. Hmm. This layout is decent. I like the color scheme, kinda subdued, but nice. ((Makes me smile, it does.)) And it goes really well with the picture. ((Though, I dislike the blurriness of the image.)) I dislike the fact that the entries are centered... it would look nicer if they were aligned to the left. Same goes for the archives. Also, on the archives, the page links are hard to read do to the double underline links. Other than that, this layout is good to go. ||16/20||
Contacts | email and notes. That’s it. It makes me sad. What if I had plans to stalk you or something? You aren’t making it easy on me. ::smile:: ||2/5||
Navigation / Organization | Easy peasy simplisticness. ||10/10||
Errors | Your e-mail address link doesn’t work. ((if you need help making it right, just ask and I’ll give ya the right way to link it.)) Also, there is a lack of capitalization and there are a few spelling and grammar errors as well. ||3/5||
Content | Yayness for reading all your entries. I have been so good about doing that lately. Pat me on the back. Yes. Hmm. The fact that you haven’t get that many entries may have helped that out a bit, though. Anyhow.
Geez, man. It’s scary how similar your life seems to mine when I was your age. You write very well. You get your ideas, thoughts, and emotions out there and understood. Hell, you write tons better than I did when I was your age. You seem to have a grasp on your feelings and shit and that comes through in your writing. You make me happy. Yeappers. ||35/40||
Extras | Lets say yay for pictures. I like pictures. Again, you’re making me smile. You look familiar from a review a did last night... for, um... oh yeah, wishful-me. That’s your friend, Becca, right? Yay yay. You two are just too cute. Yeah. Um. You have a “me” page and some random facts. A few more extras might be nice... I’m thinking maybe a cast page or some survey-type things... or rings or something. I dunno. Pretty good though. ||4/5||
Repeat Visits? | Probably. Yes, yes. ||5/5||
Last Impression | I liked this diary. You rock my socks and remind me of me. ((That might be a scary thing for you, I’m not sure. ::smile::) You have an awesome diary and you write well. Work a bit on the grammar and stuff and add some more extras and I’ll be more in love with you. Yes, yes I will. ::haha:: ||5/5||
Final Score | Happy happy, joy joy. ||83/100||
Comments | I thought it was neat that I got to review your diary as well as your best friends so closely together. Rounded out the reading experience. You guys are cute. Keep writing. You do a good job of it.
Recommended Reading | Just read the whole damn thing. It’s all good. Yay!
