Lemon Yellow

Content (30/40)- I couldn't really get into your diary at all. You wrote mostly daily accounts, but didn't mix it up with your own ideas much. I think your diary is better suited for your friends or people who know you to read. I just didn't find it interesting. You do have a promising way of writing though, which I will award you credit for. You have many creative ways of describing things and writing about them, I enjoyed those moments. I blame it on your randomness. Your diary does have a lot of random ideas floating around in it, but it doesn't seem so out there for some reason. Maybe it's your personality or something. I'm not saying you have a bad diary, because some of it was good. I'm just saying it's not my personal preference and you could expand what you write about or add a little feelings into it.

Layout (3/10)- Design credit goes to them. Well, what can I say? It's very bright. I do like bright colors and happy themed layouts, but yellow? I don't like the combination of yellow, off-white, and orange either. It's all kind of "blah". It doesn't leave very much space for links, which I hope is why you don't have very many. If you did it would look c-l-u-t-t-e-r-e-d. "Bananas in pajamas are coming down the stairs"? That's some completely random sentence stuck at the top of the layout for absolutely no reason. Sure, randomness is good sometimes, but not when it makes you look like a mental patient. Plus, this layout doesn't go with your writing, tell me anything about you, nothing. It's just a bright yellow palette of color staring me in the face.

Grammar and Spelling (12/15)- Fair.

Updating (5/5)- I'm going to be all rebellious and go against the system and refuse to grade on updating, because I don't particularly like the concept of it. You get an automatic 5 and everyone else after you does also. I'm going to get "fired."

Contacts (4/10)- Email. Notes. Guestbook. Guestmap.

Getting Around (9/10)- Great, a few complaints, but nothing major.

Extra Things (3/5)- Sites I like [5], Diaryland stuff [5] Reviews.

Fun Factor (2/5)- I was kind of bored, actually.

Extra Credit (0/5)- Zip.

Total (69/100)-

Comments- Add a little feeling to the things you write about, change that horrible putrid layout, and a re-review might serve you justice.
