Title: Regretfully Yours...

First Impression (3/5)
I’m lovin’ the red and black...

Content (25/25)
Very poetic and emotional. I felt it. You have a way with words that moves a person beyond the stereotypical meaning of the diary itself. I understood your moods and the passion behind it. In someways I felt this diary was created specifically for creative writing purposes. Then in another I could actually see the small normality in it. You confuse me at time. However, no matter how you write or what you write about it’s amazing and beautiful. I’m your number one fan!

Layout & Colors (9/20)
The colors are great. I like the image as well. It blends into the black background nicely. However the fact that the content of your entries are in red hurts my eyes a bit. Perhaps you should contribute another color into the red and black. Something a little less dramatic and perfect for text. Another thing that could use some change is the font. Times New Roman is quite...ugly. The most attractive and legible would have to be arial or verdana. They are the most used, but there’s a reason for it.

Navigation (5/10)
I noticed that your *reviewed* link doesn’t work. Perhaps the URL is misspelled or maybe you need to refresh the page. Again, the links blend to easily into the image with the red. They too need some color. I suppose none of this really matters being that you have amazing content. It really steals the attention. It’s organized and they all seem to work.

Link (1/5)
If I had to guess I’d say the link was locked behind that broken link entitled: *Reviewed*. I can’t be certain, but I am going to give you a point for the benefit of a doubt.

Grammar and Punctuation (15/15)
Oh yeah! (Enough said.)

Extras (5/15)
There isn’t too much to your diary. Your site only consists of new, old, profile, notes, and one extra entitled, *poems*. The poetry is great, however you don’t seem dedicated to your diary enough to post more variety.

Image? (+0/5)
Nope.

Creativity (8/8)
Your writing shows a wide range of creativity. Honestly, I was impressed. You’re poetic, yes, but your writings style is influential and most inspiring among those that are just beginning their diary quest. I just might create a page dedicated to all the amazingly inspiring diaries for those who have trouble in this specific area. Thanks.

Contact (3/5)
Notes, AOL screen name, and email.

Profile (10/10)
“Instant success borderline obscurity and eventual forgetfulness are moments away. your 15 minutes were wasted while u wondered if you had something to say and i'm still standing up above it all still empty still living still waiting for you to fall...”
Lovely. It’s almost the perfect example of what I mean. I also like the profile title; deranged. One word my older sister used to describe many different things while I was growing up. For some reason it brings back the past for me a bit. You have a nice amount of favorites. Not too many diaries I’m afraid, but they will suffice. Over all your profile feels organized and open. Good job.

Will I Return? (12/12)
Defiantly!
