Title | ...Love Me...
First Impression | What is this? Not to be mean, but really, when I first loaded this page... I could do nothing but stare... it's just... not my cup of tea, I guess. ||1/5||
Template / Layout | Well, this layout is original... and I haven't seen anything quite like it anywhere else... but that's really all it has going for it. All the images have the page loading so slowly and it looks cluttered and unorganized. It doesn't seem to flow nicely and my eyes are drawn everywhere except towards your writing. 5/10
In all honesty, I don't like this layout too much. I like the idea behind it, but I feel it could be executed in a better way that is less cluttered and distracting. This layout just doesn't do a thing for me. ::sorry:: 2/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||7/20||
Contacts | Notes, E-mail, AIM, Comments... I think that's it. ||4/5||
Navigation / Organization | Well, all the navigational links are in one, easily located place... but there is really nothing simple about the links themselves. Again, the idea behind the images all representing whatever the link leads to is a nice idea... but it was executed poorly. It makes things look unorganized and cluttered and it adds to the confusion. Also, your diary would come together more nicely if your "older" pages were at least similar in appearance to your everyday entry's layout. Also, you need to keep up on your archiving... there are a shit load of entries on your main archive page right now... it looks cluttered. ::sigh:: ||5/10||
Errors | Minimal errors. Some grammar, some spelling. Nothing major. ||4/5||
Content | Your entries kept me interested and I felt as though I could relate, ((somewhat)) to your entries. I actually read quite a few of 'em and wasn't bored and I didn't skim at all... and well, that is saying a lot. You have a pretty even mix of emotion and day-log-type stuff, but I do feel like you should maybe talk more about other things... not just whatever boy you are currently dating or obsessing over. ((Ha. I'm one to talk...all I ever talk about in my diary is my boyfriend... but whatever.)) I do like that your entries seem to hold nothing back. You are straight up and forward with yourself and you seem to have amazing self-confidence that I am jealous of. You pretty much rock my polka-dotted socks... yeah. 18/25
It seems like you write for yourself, which is what everyone with an online diary should strive for. Your writing flows nicely, with minimal what the fuck moments had by your readers. ((To clarify, that means that you write clearly and your reader can, for the most part, understand everything in your entries.)) I think sometimes you get ahead of yourself with your writing and it results in mis-use of some words and some spelling mistakes... slow down a bit and your entries would be peachy-fucking-keen. Go you. 17/20
TOTAL CONTENT ||35/45||
Extras | You got 'em. ||5/5||
Repeat Visits? | I might... I found some of your other sites quite interesting too... ||3/5||
Extra Credit | +2 for the massive amounts of pictures. I love pictures. Go you.
Final Score | Decent. ||66/100||
Comments | Your score would be a lot higher with a different layout... The one you have currently just doesn't really do anything for your diary. It's distracting and cluttered. If you happen to alter your layout or something come back here and request another review. Your diary deserves a much better score than a 66.
