Chasing Rainbows

Username: [1/10 points] I don't like it that much. It seems boring and immature. At least you used a hyphen to seperate krazy and krys. I'll give you a point for that, because it's better than cramming it together.

First Impression: [20/20 points] Oh gog, colors! For the first time in weeks, I get to see color in a layout. I love you. I have some problems with the layout already, but just for bringing color back into my reviewing life, you're getting full points. Congrats!

Content: [25/55 points] You certainly don't update much. In the past 5-6 months you've accumulated less than 100 entries. I was somewhat thankful too, because it wasn't such a hassle to read. I noticed a pattern in your diary. You write, you skip awhile and return with the line "I'm sorry i haven't written in here..." and then skip another week or two. Your diary is more a diary for your friends than for diarylanders searching for the next best thing. A lot of your entries are 1-2 sentences long. I like shorter entries, because they don't take as long to read, but I also like to get to know the person a little too. I didn't get to know much about you from your diary. When you wrote longer entries, they were mostly about events that occurred since the last time you updated. You do have a few good points in theres somewhere, but one woudl have to dig through the one-liners, daylogs, and complaining to find it. I don't know how old you are, but I would estimate you being around 13. If you're not, I apologize, but it's the age your writing represents.

Layout: [10/40 points] Design. I exaggerated earlier and I apologize. I was just so excited to see something bright. I'm going to start with the thing that bothers me most about this layout; the tacky button that links back to the designer. Gross. I don't understand why there's another whole area at the bottom that has the same links, but no entry. I think it'd a problem in the code, or I suppose it could be made that way, but it looks really weird. I think the background of the entry area would look better without the rainbow stripe across the middle. The "Chasing Rainbows" down the side looks a little childish too. Actually the layout reminds me of a kiddie blanket. The only thing I think I really like is the colored blocks the links are in down the side. I suggest cleaning up this layout or getting a new one.

Contact: [2/5 points] Notes. Guestbook [it doesn't work]. Email.

Personality: Sensitive. Simple. Friendly. Typical. Kind.

Extras: [1/10 points] Last 5 entries.

Am I linked: [5/5 points] I don't see a link. I'm disappointed in you.

Favorite entries: [15/25 points] One, Two, Three.

Originality: [10/10 points] I don't know. I didn't really get that feeling from you. I kind of pictured you as this blonde with lots of friends and perfect grades. Wrong, again? I apologize.

Quotes: None.

Most Memorable: Nothing was really memorable. I guess the daylogs, because I remember reading about Kelly and someone else at some point in time.

Comments: Can I give you a tip? Update more often. I am not a stickler for updating at all. I don't even have a section that scores that, because I find it stupid. But if you don't update on a fairly frequent basis, your diary starts to lose personal touch and just becomes a place where you ramble on about what you did the past two weeks that you haven't wrote. No one wants to read that, so in order to keep a structure to it, update more regularly.

Would I come back: [5/20 points] I doubt it.

Total: [94/200]
