Content (5/20)
Okay, Holy Run-on sentences, Batman! After just a few entries I was almost
on the floor in convulsions from the lack of punctuation. And apparently
capitalization and spelling are also arbitrary. I seriously wanted to pull
out my fine-tip red marker and begin defacing my computer screen with my
corrections. Grammar, etc. aside, I am probably the WORST person to have
reviewed your diary because, honestly, I cannot relate to you at all. From
what I can deduce, you are somewhere around fifteen for most of the entries
I read and even if I was fifteen again, I still do not think I would relate.
There was one entry where you claimed you are the “most stressed out
person on this entire earth” and I realize you are probably exaggerating,
but aren’t we being a tad melodramatic? I mean I realize high school like,
totally sucks and whatever, but let’s get real. And what is with all the
song lyrics? Occasionally, a poignant lyric might strike my fancy, but in
almost every entry? I guess my biggest complaint is that there really is
not much content. My number one diaryland rule is, if you do not have
anything to say, do not say anything at all. And you seem to be violating
this rule in almost every entry. It seems to me like all you ever write
about is what television show or movie you are watching, you just watched,
you want to watch or missed. And I don’t care. You apologized in one entry
saying that your diary might not be fun because you tend to rant, but the
entries where you did go on rants were infinitely more interesting than the
entries detailing last week’s episode of Seventh Heaven or the fact that you
watched five hours of The Ashlee Simpson Show and Newlyweds. You often
include movie or television quotes along with your entries and I guess I do
not really understand why, because at best, they are only loosely associated
with your actual entry. I understand that at fifteen you may not have
experienced much, and there may not be much going on in your life, but I
don’t feel like it’s necessary that you give diaryland readers evidence of
that. And giving you five points for content is being extremely
generous.
Layout (20/40)
Question: Are you really the creator of your layout? Because I’m pretty
sure I’ve seen it other places, and there’s no link to a designer. Anyway,
why have prominently featured “The One With…” and not use it when titling
you entries? I mean, you’ve got the Friends motif already going on, why not
use it to your advantage? I guess I just wasn’t overly impressed with the
design, it’s a tad bit boring.
Navigation (13/15)
Almost everything works, except on your older entries page, you can only
access the entries from 2005. I don’t want to have to work to find your
very first entry.
Link (5/5)
It’s there
Contact (7/10)
I could do an okay job of stalking you.
Extras (7/10)
There are a few, but is it really necessary to have three different
journal/diary sites?
Favorites Not so much.
