Title | I'm just following my compass in the dark...
First Impression | I am digging the simplicity of your layout, but I have grown weary of seeing those exploding dog images everywhere. It seems like every other diary I review has one a those images on the layout. Gah. ||3/5||
Template / Layout | This layout is actually pretty decent. Everything just seems to fit and the organization is wondermous. I like seeing a layout where the writing seems to be the main focus of the diary... there are too many diaries out there that bombard you with huge images and bright, flashy colors which end up distracting the reader from the main point of the diary...which is the writing. Your layout gives your writing a place to be where it looks like it belongs and the reader's eyes are drawn to it,without it being just a plain white page with black type... that's a good thing. Your layout is simplistic, but not boring.
9/10
I lik the simplicity and the grey tone and how everything just kinda fits nicely and looks good. On the other hand, however, I'm sick of exploding dog images. They bother me.

TOTAL OF LAYOUT ||16/20||
Contacts | Notes, guestbook, & E-mail. ||3/5||
Navigation / Organization | Easy-peasy. Simple pimple. ||10/10||
Errors | The link to your rings page isn't working right... and there are minor grammatical and spelling errors. But nothing really major. ||4/5||
Content | You write the entries I would write if I were a good writer. I was completely drawn in to every entry I read and I could relate so well to almost all of what you had to say. The entry about reading/books and the one about always ending up as the bestfriend when guys are concerned... those are thoughts I've had but have been ever to express as well as you did. Awesome.
25/25
You write very well. Your thoughts and ideas are clearly expressed and are interesting to read. There's really nothing more I can say about it. You write the way I wish I could.

Comments | Sorry it took me so long to get to your review... been a bit busy around these here parts. Anyhow. Your diary amazed me with how much I could relate. You are awesome.
