Title: Yes, I am (Rocking, swimming, blowing)

First Impression (2/5)
I see you’ve posted some pictures - YAY! From the looks of your fresh entry, you seem really enthusiastic. I can’t wait to read more.

Content (15/25)
With the entry titles, I couldn’t seem to find anything that interested me. You talk about celebrity crushes, & other pre-teen topics that aren’t interesting to the more mature reader. I was disappointed throughout your entire diary (as far as content goes). Perhaps we’re not into the same things, but something could have stood out... I must give you credit for your sense of adventure and enthusiasm. You are quite optimistic towards the negativity in your life and I LOVE optimism. Despite your immaturity, you seem to be fun to be around. You live a busy life. Your entries were also about the many different things you do from time to time. I also enjoy the fact that you’re not the average “depressed teen”. Great job on that part!

Layout & Colors (6/20)
I like the black and white colors along with the image. It almost feels like a vintage news paper. And the image is of the front page story. When posting other images along side it, it would be best to either make those images into thumbnails or post them on a separate blank page. I would suggest geocities for these pages. There’s something about your layout that seems thrown together. I wish the links were featured one under the other with a different hover. Over all, it bores me.

Navigation (5/10)
All the links seem to work properly. So far, so good. Like I mentioned before, I don’t like the hover. It doesn’t seem to fit with the way you have your links aligned. Perhaps if they were straight, vertically it would work. I can see the indication of organization, however. You have your entry links on the first row, extra links on the second, and contact and thanks on the bottom. This earns you a few more points!

Link (5/5)
You’ve posted payment. Thanks!

Grammar and Punctuation (5/15)
You use standard grammar and punctuation. Good enough.

Extras (7/15)
You’ve included the standard extras, such as: bio, favorites, play list, and surveys. The *sexy men* pictures are a bit “juvenile” for me. However, I do appreciate the *wisdamn* link to your “writings-diary”. This shows the reader you are passionate about writing and it makes your diary seem more professional. *Just one of those mental tricks* ; ) I want to complement you on the fact that you posted your countdowns on the *extras* page instead of part of your template (like most would do). Good Job.

Image? (+5/5)
You have quite a few images actually. For that I award you full credit!

Creativity (4/8)
You have what I like to call, “common creativity”. It’s an oxymoron I use to describe standard originality. There’s nothing that really “stands out” about your diary.

Contact (3/5)
You feature, AIM, email, and notes.

Profile (9/10)
I don’t like the profile title. I wish it was an actual title instead of your user name. Even capitalizing it would spruce it up a bit. Your short autobio describes your diary completely. You have a healthy amount of favorites along with a few comments. I don’t mind it when there are few comments. Too many seem to clutter the profile’s look.

Will I Return? (3/12)
To be honest, no. Don’t get me wrong, your energy is great! I admire your personality. We just don’t have much in common.
Why don’t I just go ahead and say it... “it’s not you, it’s me.” lol. Sorry. It just sounded to me like I was trying to break up with your easily.
