Title | That's MS Mary to you...
First Impression | Hmmm. Not my cup of tea. ||2/5||
Template / Layout | Well, this diary is beyond simple. Usually I like simple, but there is something about this that just kinda crawls under my skin and irritates. I am not really liking the color scheme too much. I think I have grown tired of the red on black. It's everywhere lately. The image, though I love the sparkliness of it, is distracting and the font is just a bit too small. It makes it a bit difficult to read. Also, I don't like how the links are crossed out once I've clicked on them. It makes shit harder to read. 5/10
Overall, I don't really like this layout. It seems a bit, well, boring. I do like that it's personalized, though. I hate how most diaries lack the writer's personality. 7/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||12/20||
Contacts | Notes. I understand your point in only having notes, but that makes it impossible for people who do not have a diaryland diary to contact you. You could link to your email address or something... I dunno. I just think you should have a way for non-diaryland users to contact you as well. ||1/5||
Navigation / Organization | It's pretty straight forward. Easy-peasy and all that. My only complaint is how close it is to the image. It makes it a tad difficult to notice them right off the bat.||9/10||
Errors | As far as I'm concerned, you are virtually error-free. I don't want to search through it all to see if I can find misspelled words or improper grammar. Upon first glance and through reading the entries, you seem fine. ||5/5||
Content | I wasn't really drawn in to your entries at all. I felt as though I just couldn't relate. It feels like you have this wall up between you and what you write in your diary. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of reading your entries. They tend to be somewhat vague and don't delve into your deeper thoughts and emotions too much. It's almost like you are just daylogging, but your not. It's confusing, I know. Basically, to me, it's just that your entries feel like they are written from the very surface of who you are... you don't get into the deeper aspects. 15/25
All in all, though, you write quite well. You entries are easily understood and your points come across clearly and all that goodness. I just think it would make your diary a much better read if you opened up a little bit more. 17/20
TOTAL CONTENT ||32/45||
Extras | You have a few. I'd like to see more movie reviews. I liked them. ||4/5||
Repeat Visits? | Honestly, I doubt it. ||2/5||
Final Score | And there it is. ||67/100||
Comments | Sorry your review took so long to get done. I've been a busy little person lately. Yeah.
