Title | The Eye Of The Storm
First Impression | It's pink. Yeap. Pink. I usually dislike pink... but lately it seems to be growing on me. ||4/5||
Template / Layout | This is a pretty decent layout. The colors look decent together and everything is just nice and organized looking. The one thing that kind of bothers me is that the links are in the entry area and that you must scroll through the entry to get to them. I like it better when the links are just, bam!, right there in your face. It makes navigating through the diary more simplistic. 9/10
Honestly, I like this layout, yet I'm unsure why. Usually I loathe the color pink, but it just seems to work here. And I like the images along the side as well. They make the diary seem more yours, if that makes sense. It's more personal that way. Yeah. 9/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||18/20||
Contacts | Notes, email, tag board, guest book. ||4/5||
Navigation / Organization | It's pretty much easy and organized. My only complaint is the links being where they are... stuck onto the end of the entries. You should have them right there, easily seen and easily click-able... not where you have to scroll down to find them. ||8/10||
Errors | Spelling and word usage errors. But, I agree, they do seem to be just typos. Maybe if you slowed down a little when you type, or if you used a spell check, you could cut down on the errors a bit. ||2/5||
Content | Your entries kept me reading, but when I looked back to figure out what exactly it was that made me want to keep reading, I was at a loss. Your entries are just, well, interesting, I guess. I would have liked it more if you delved in to your emotions a bit more... but eh, I didn't think your entries were lacking anything. They were decent, read-able diary entries. And that's a good thing. 22/25
At times I had problems understanding just exactly what you were trying to say due to the spelling errors and the use of wrong words in places, but with a little thinking I could figure it out. I think your spelling and writing would highly benefit from a spell check program and you slowing down a bit when you update. Spend a little more time re-reading your entries before you post them and make sure they are clear and concise and that the sentences make sense and the words are spelled at least resembling their correct spellings. ::smile:: I'm not saying you have to have perfect grammar and perfect spelling, but by slowing down you could cut down on some of the mistakes. Other than those 2 things, your writing is quite good. I enjoyed reading it. 15/20

Repeat Visits? | Maybe. ||3/5||
Extra Credit | +1 for having pictures. I love pictures.
Final Score | Nicely done. ||82/100||
Comments | All the things that I complained about concerning your layout you have addressed on your "the design" page. I can help you out with all those problems, if you'd like me to. Check with the designer to make sure it's okay to alter the design and then you can get in touch with me and I'll help you switch it up, mm-kay? Well, if you'd like my help that is. ::smile:: You can just click the link on the end of this review and it'll take you to my diary, you can then get a hold of me any number of ways from there... yeah.
