Title: immortal.nocturne version one.o // wind's nocturne

First Impression: no points
Well I like your diary quite a lot. The layout is tidy and everything fits, I’m not too keen on the image but that’s just my personal preference! The colours work together; just the black and greys look preety. I also really like the borders separating everything…anyway now onto the points stuff!

Content: 25/25
Even though I haven’t read all of your entries or anything, the general feel I get from your diary is good. You inform us of your life but also what you feel and want from things. I like this rather than a simple hello I got up today and had breakfast. You have a nice variety. I don’t think you’re afraid to say what you want or think. Although I haven’t read many bits like this “i've told myself repeatedly that i wasn't gonna do it... that i would maintain my cool and just deal... ... i'm not asking for a complete change of lifestyle, just a general idea of what's going on or what might go on..”
I think that this makes a interesting and good read. I also love the way you use lyrics and things for your short descriptions…I used to do that :)
You have also included A LOT of information about yourself in your bio which also makes for a good read, knowing who you’re reading about! The only criticism I have is that…well actually I don’t have any, I just think I find long entries a bit hard to read, but that’s just me!

Layout: 16/20
Everything matches and there are no places that it’s hard to read or too small. I’m not sure though if I like it completely, I think a splash of colour is always good, but if that’s not you then fine! The layout is quite dark and the navi bar is really thin and cramped. It all works together and nothing seems out of place!

Navigation: 9/10
I love your short description things, you have a place for everything and you can get around your diary really easily :) The older entries thing is really organised! It did confuse me a bit to begin with but its still really good, better than a lot of diaries!

Links: 4/5
Most of the links work but a couple lead to a weird page that doesn’t look like its diary related! - http://coyotesabre.iaryland.com/friendquote.html I think you have just left out the d of diaryland! Whoops…
But my god you have a LOT of older pages and a lot of diary entries to navigate to!!!!

Grammar: 10/10
Your grammar is real good, especially because you don’t talk like this “2dai I wnt out wid me m8s 2 c me ova m8s” The only thing bad is no capital letters…But personally I think this looks so much better and I don’t put caps on my design site…so even though its wrong I wont deduct the point because it makes it look so much prettier!

Extras: 8/10
You have poetry, quotes, a list of your friends, cast list and an extreme huge bio thing! You do have a I hate, love this… http://imortlnoctrn.diaryland.com/050429_97.html

Contact: 7/10
You’ve got aim and email on your page but no links to notes….though you do have a comments thing for each entry.

Profile: 5/10
You got a good list of friends for us to see and a few comments about the bands you like. –cough-woo go evanescence-cough-

Total: 84/100
