||Life's a Bitch | Version 2.Amazon Goth||

Content (15/40)- You defiinitely write day-logs. No doubt about it. I have nothing against day-loggers, but you mainly write about computer, web-design, and diary related things. You talk about what you did throughout your day and don't detail it enough to get a reader interested. If I knew you I would probabaly read your diary, but viewing as an outside source, you aren't too interesting to me. I have no idea what's going on inside of your life, give or take extracurricular activities. I;m not saying you have to be a manic depressive, cutter to make your diary interesting, because you don;t, You just have to incorporate feelings and thoughts into the entries about daily events. If I had more personal entries that spoke of how you felt or thought I would definitely be more interesting than reading about your 6 hours you spent online.

Layout (3/10)- Obviously it's self-designed. It's a nice idea, but this is just a little too unclean for me. Aside from the images and a few other things, this layout would be better suited for some 13 year old girl's graphic page. I don't like the images or the way you have the writing between them. I do like how everything else is arranged. I like the extra box at the bottom for all of the buttons. I must admit that it does look a lot better than them being all crunched together and floating at the bottom like most people have them. I think this whole layout is implying you're too young. It would be great if you found or self-designed something a little more appropriate for your age and maybe got rid of a couple of the buttons. Just for my own curiosity, why does it say "TURN YOUR SOUND UP" over your navigation area? It seems out of place.

Grammar and Spelling (9/15)- I don't like your everyday use of internet slang. Plus, you end almost every sentence with an exclamation point, which makes me think you're super happy about everything.

Updating (5/5)- I don't care. Here.

Contacts (10/10)- Guestbook. Email. AIM. Notes. Tagboard. You have the link for Haloscan's commenting service, but I couldn't find your own comments area, but I'm sure it's there.

Getting Around (7/10)- I can manage.

Extra Things (5/5)- I-mood. Guestbook. Cast. Rings. Surveys. Disclaimer. Pictures. Codes. 1000 Words. Various others.

Fun Factor (2/5)- I guess I had a teensy bit of fun.

Extra Credit (3/5)- You get two extra points because I can actually turn your music off and listen to my own. You lose a point because I can't right-click on your pages and open them in a new window, which becomes unspeakably annoying when I'm looking at your extras. You lose another point because the music player pops back up every 5 minutes trying to play the song. "Im a human being and I got feelings too and all yall flucking haters dont faze me." You get 2 extra points for having the courage to say that and 1 point for the 1000 Words idea, that you get to keep.

Total (59/100)-

Comments- I'm not saying your diary is bad, because it isn't. It has great potential. You just need to write more about your personal life and such. The layout is okay, if that's what you like, but I pesonally find it boring and immature. I suggest something more grown-up and suitable for you. Oh, and cut back on the exclamation points. It makes me think you're some 12 year old, pre-pubescent girl with pigtails and pom-poms.
