Hunterpoo

Username/Diary Title [5/5] - hunterpoo. This name is original and it makes me initially think about love or possibly a child, it makes me a little giggly too... weird. But after reading a bit of your diary I find out it is both. You’re diary title fits the purpose of the diary and it works.

First Impression [10/10] - My first thought, “This reminds me of Uncle Bob’s layout. And it obviously an original and well done one. Hmm... we’ll see.”

Content [35/40] - For this one I’m going to start out with that bad, though there isn’t much of it. While reading some of your entries I became confused because you would type too much in one paragraph or the words would just seem to blur together. I think that could be easily changed by adding a few more paragraph breaks here and there.
Now for the good:
You obviously love your son very much. You have been put through a lot of crap from his father but you still stick it out and stay as strong as could be expected, maybe even stronger. Through this diary you take both the normal diary approach and the day to day. You have managed to turn the diary of your and your son’s daily experiences into an interesting, informational read. I thought that it would be all about little hunter but it isn’t just that. It’s more and you show yourself well through it.
I grew up without a father and I still don’t have one. I know a few other people in this situation who have a hard time with this. Not having a father has never been a problem for me and I think it’s because my mother instilled the best of her in me. She stayed strong like I see you doing. I hope that Josh does follow through with what he said and that he’ll be a part of Hunter’s life but if he doesn’t I believe that Hunter will grow up a strong man anyway. He has all he needs, a lot of love and care and support, all a boy could want, from a wonderful mother.

Layout [30/30] - You created this layout all by yourself! I just started creating layouts and I understand just how tough it is (maybe it’s only tough for a beginner) but you created a very, very nice layout. I especially enjoy the pictures of you and your son. He’s so darling.

Grammar/Spelling/Vocabulary [3/5] - In general I suppose it’s okay. You do get a little sloppy though. There are quite a few situations where you don’t capitalize or you use “lol”. Nothing too dramatic though.

Contact [5/5] - Myspace, e-mail, guest book, notes. I think I’ll be able to get a hold of you one way or another.

Extra Things [5/5] - Cast, reviews, growth chart of Hunter, videos, photos, quizzes, about you and your baby. You’ve got a lot to keep me entertained.

Your song - “Will You Be There?” - Michael Jackson

Three Words - Exciting. Interesting. Lovable.

I think your diary title should be - Yes, I’m a good mother, but I am so much more, it takes a lot more to be a good mother.

Your lyrical word of advice -

But the mud will soon become dry
and the sun will rise again.
And the shadows in our eyes will fade away.
Eileen’s Song - Unknown Artist

Extra Comments - I just can not get over how adorable Hunter is. He’s a very attractive little guy and he seems very happy. You’re obviously a wonderful mother to him. You’re also very strong because you’ve been doing things as a single parent after the drama of his father. I don’t understand how you didn’t just crumple under the pressure of it all at once. Good for you though. Really good for you.
Extra five added.

Total Score: [98/100]
