Scoring

For other diary providers, the following content can be used for you as well, just eliminate the profile category.

First Impression ( /5)
Self-Explanatory


Content ( /25)
What you have to say is very important. How you speak and whether your readers can connect with you and understand you is the main reason for your posts. Make sure you take into consideration that more than most of your readers are not your close friends that are around you in you everyday life and they don't know you.


Layout & Color s ( /20)
I am in love with artistic layouts. Sometimes that’s the only reason I read some diaries. Your layout is simply another way of expressing your feelings toward different things. It can also display your personality.


Navigation ( /10)
Are you organized? I like subcategories.


Link ( /5)
Did you link back? No payment, forget about the review.


Grammar and Punctuation ( /15)
You may have heard me say time and time again how important grammar and punctuation is. I can't stand ebonics. So don't use it or I just might toss you aside.


Extras ( /15)
I need something more than rings and facts. Extras are a great way to help people get to know you even better. Be creative and interesting. Like maybe a full length autobiography, favorites, 101 things, etc...


Image? (+ /5)
This is for bonus points. If you don’t have an image of yourself it’s not going to cost you.


Creativity ( /8)
How creative are you? Do you show it in your diary content, Extras, Layout, Profile, etc?


Contact ( /5)
Aside from notes, is there various way to contact you? Email, Guest book, etc...


Profile ( /10)
What do you have to say about yourself before I enter your diary. I am not going to judge you on your musical, reading, or movie taste. I am going to be looking to see if you have something to say about each category and if your title and description is artistic or unique. Depending on the content, they should also match.


Will I Return? ( /12)
Was your diary interesting to me? If not, I probably wont return...


Total points: ( /130)
This is your final score. No, it isn’t an even hundred.
