...hold onto these moments as they pass...
Username: [3/10 points] First you have the word proud, which you explained here. But then you have your first name and 04. Proudmary would've gotten you 8 but the 04 ruins everything. Plus, Mary isn't exactly an exciting name, no offense.
First Impression: [19/20 points] The layout is pretty and purple. Very simple, it isn't cluttered with unnecessary tagboards and such. Your entry is not very long, most is taken up by a list and you space your paragraphs with a line, which takes up more room. But on my Mac the links up top are out of place and I can only really read the top half of the link.
Content: [55/55 points] When I was looking for a diary to review and I clicked on yours I read the first entry. But then I read the one before. And the one before that. I don't usually do that. But I really got into yours. You are obviously older than me (Your a senior, I'm a freshman) but I really understood what you were going through sometimes. I really identified with your entry about why you don't drink. I liked how you talked about how much you love some things like singing and playing music. You capitalize now and use punctuation and use good grammar, congrats. Your writing style somewhat reminds me of my own because you often write short, one-word sentences. Awesome.
Layout: [35/40 points] Charm Designs made this layout. It's very clean, very purple. The image of a flower is gorgeous. The links are sort of hard to tell from the text but it still looks good. As I mentioned before, the links are off on my Mac. I don't know if this is true on a PC, but I don't care, layouts should look okay everywhere. The text is legible. The previous and next links are neatly after the entry. I don't think that's the best place for them since the text box scrolls but putting them anywhere else wouldn't match the box theme you've got here. You don't have the title written anywhere and that's okay, but it would look nice to have it on the image or something. But overall, it's nice on the eyes.
