Title | Why can't I breathe, whenever I think about you...
First Impression | Liz Phair. I like old Liz Phair, not the Liz Phair of current, but, eh. This color scheme rocks my socks though. ||4/5||
Template / Layout | This layout is actually pretty decent. It's nice and organized and the color scheme really appeals to me. I think that the side bar where you have all your links looks a tad cluttered due to the older entries. If you took those out, that side bar would look peachy-keen. I hate your older & guest book layout. The orange is just awful and I kinda dislike the show Friends in general. Also, I am one of the people that like a diary's layouts to kind of fit together. The layout for your older page should be connected in some way to your main layout... But, no, really. Your archive page should match your main page... tie it together with a main theme ((like Liz Phair or something.)) or use a similar color scheme. Yeah. 7/10
Well, I really like your main layout... but I loathe your archive layout. Go figure. 5/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||12/20||
Contacts | E-mail, guest book, aim, & notes. Super-dee-duper. ||4/5||
Navigation / Organization | Shit is easy to find. Everything is laid out quite simply along the right hand side. Easy-peasy. I do recommend archiving your older entries. Your older page is cluttered beyond belief. If you need some help doing that, just ask... I'd be glad to help you. ||8/10||
Errors | Not too many. You do sometimes mis-use words ((like the use of the word granite instead of granted in one entry.)) and sometimes your spelling is a tad off... but it's not that big a deal. ||4/5||
Content | I feel as though your entries don't really tell me all that much. I felt like they just skimmed the surface and that you didn't delve deep enough into your feelings. I kinda got frustrated with all the surveys and "extras" type stuff masquerading as "real" entries. I dunno. I had no problem reading your diary, it just didn't really do anything for me. It didn't drag me in but it didn't repel me either. It was just kind of there and had very little affect on me either way. 15/25
You write fairly decently. I wish your entries were a bit deeper and told me more, but for what you do put down, it's interesting enough. Try to stop a bit and look at your entries and try to put in more about feelings and things like that. And, not to sound bitch-like or mean, but you tend to come off sounding very very young and immature in some of your entries... For instance, you use the word "like" in your latest entry entirely, like, too much. And you repeat yourself... a lot. 15/20
TOTAL CONTENT ||30/45||
Extras | You have a few... sprinkled in among your main entries. ||4/5||
Repeat Visits? | I don't know. ||2/5||
Final Score | It's not as bad as it seems. ||68/100||
Comments | Elementary school and high school are so drastically different. Just wait till you graduate high school and the real world swoops in and you can see how different that is. Don't worry, though. It's not so bad. Just go with the flow of things and accept all the changes as they come. That's the easiest thing to do. Right? Right.
