kerrierw Content (35/40)- This entry was one of the better ones that caught my eye. Judging from the chink of entries I read you tend to rant a lot. about things that bother you or enlighten you. I like the style you write with. I have a minor complaint though. In this entry you had a great start, but at the end the sympathy and remorse sort of trailed off and lost it's feeling. I noticed how you do that in many entries, it's almost as if you don't know how to end it. Even with the somewhat partial rants and long bouts of poetry, I enjoyed your diary. It was a pretty nice thing to come back to review. I can only tell you to try to stay focused and put more emotion into the end of your entries, instead of just the beginning. In case you're wondering, since I only posted recent entries, I read all of February and ... 11 entries from January. Sorry, I had to count. Layout (6/10)- You credit them for the design. My first thought is "too much white." The image is very appealing, but the entry box covers half of it up. I think it would look better with an invisible background box so you could still see the image. Also, this layout doesn't give much room for extra links. Nothing is terribly out of place here, but it looks somewhat sloppy. I get a good feeling when I combine your writing with the layout, so it's not all bad. Actually, it's not a bad layout, but if I were you I would change a few things or get another. Grammar and Spelling (13/15)- I found a few mistakes, but nothing major. Updating (5/5)- I could care less. Here are your automatic 5 points. Contacts (10/10)- Email. Tagboard. Notes. Guestbook. Notify. Getting Around (9/10)- The only thing I'm going to complain about was the scrolling I had to do to read most of your entries. Extra Things (5/5)- Favourites. Bit About Me. Cast. Now... Have a Problem? Rings. Cliques. Quizzes. Writings. My poems. Drawings. Photos. Reviews. Dream Diary. My review site. My design site. Fun Factor (2/5)- A wee bit of fun was had. Extra Credit (1/5)- +1 for the extras. Total (86/100)- Silver Award. Comments- I don't like the "plain jane" layout. That's really my only peeve. You write great and even though I don't like the layout, but it does go along with the way you write and your simplistic personality. Reviewed by- Mandy |
