Title | Shit Floats: Observations of a Cynic
First Impression | 3 thoughts. 1.) I love the simplicity of this layout, 2.) I hate the font, and 3.) The shit at the bottom of the page looks sloppy. I loathe it. Icky-yucky-pooey. ||2/5||
Template / Layout | Well, I like how this is laid out. Everything seems to match well enough and it is simple and neat. Organization is a good thing, and this layout has it. Yay for you. On the other hand, I dislike the p.o.y thing and the notifylist shit and whatever else you have going on at the bottom of the page. It's distracting and makes me frown. Get rid of it, make a page for it or something. I dunno. 8/10
Now, for my personal preferences: I loathe the font you have. It bothers me, and that is the only thing I know about it. Yeah. The color scheme, though it looks good together, is not one of my favorites, and lastly, the links look a little busy. You have a ton of shit kickin' it in the main links areas and I think it might look a little bit better if you had an extras page set up or something. Yeah. 6/10
TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||14/20||
Contacts | Notes, guest-book & e-mail.||3/5||
Navigation / Organization | Basically this is pretty organized. Easy-peasy simplisticness. Go you. ||10/10||
Errors | I count the shit at the bottom of the page as a layout error just because it's so distracting to me. It really bothers me. This layout would be so super nice if it wasn't mussied-up by that crap kicking it there at the bottom left hand corner. Your spelling and grammar seem decent enough and I think all your links work too. Decent enough I guess. ||4/5||
Content | Hmmm. This was hard. You did drag me in with your writing. I could relate to it and it was enjoyable to read, but I found myself skimming through entries just for the simple fact that some of them were so darned long. I dunno. Was I captivated by your entries? I wouldn't say captivated, but I did get drawn in. Could I relate? A good deal I could relate to, but not all. I dunno. Like I said, this was hard. I did feel like this was lacking some emotion, though. I feel like emotion was hinted at... but never really delved into. I dunno. I was left wanting something a little more here. 15/20
You do write really well. Your entries are full of humor and the sentences flow and get your ideas and points across. You are a very good writer, though a little long winded. ((I think that's the phrase I'm looking for.)) Niceness. 18/20
TOTAL CONTENT ||33/40||
Extras | Shit, yes you got a ton of extras. Yay for extras. ||5/5||
Repeat Visits? | Anything is possible. ||3/5||
Last Impression | This seems like a pretty decent diary. All in all I feel like every thing flows and makes sense and it left me feeling slightly satisfied. Not to mention I love reading about catfights at Old Navy. Go you. ||5/5||
Final Score | Nice. ||84/100||
Comments | Shopping on Thanksgiving is insanity and I am going through a Suzy Home-maker phase as well. Cookies galore! Yay for us.
