Username & diary title: (6/10) tobehis - It's either some cheesy 'love' line about being your boyfriend's OR a cheesy Jesus line about belonging to the Lord. Either way, I'm not digging it too much. What did i do? - It obviously goes with the layout, but it's so damn cute I have to love it. Aw.
First Impression: (20/20) Kitty. My kitty died recently, so it almost makes me sad. I do, however LOVE kitties & this is the cutest layout that was trying to be cue I have ever seen. I'm so blinded by the kitty I can't even find anything wrong with it right now!
Layout: (30/40) X-Designs. This is an adorable layout. It's inspired me to do a kitten layout, so expect Teen Review to be sporting a layout featuring a kitten soon! Once I glance away from the kitten long enough, I am starting to spot a few simple errors & minor complaints. My biggest complaint is the entry area should be bigger. Your entries are sometimes rather long & a small entry box does nothing, but make them look even longer. If the site allows, you can alter the size to suit yourself, if not, a new design may be in order. The links on the left are pouring over the border a bit. That's not pretty. You also have a bundle of links & extras down the side that make it look messy. I would reccommend adding an 'extras' page for your disclaimer & other things.
Contact: (2/5) Notes. Guestbook. You might want to add an email link.
Extras: (12/10) Links. Noteworthy (good idea, by the way! +2!). Last 5. Rings. Friends. The Girl. Smiles. Frowns. Disclaimer.
Am I Linked: (0/5) I wish. No points for you!
Content: (25/55) First, I have a few questions to ask you. What are the questions & 'Unconscious Mutterings' at the end of almost every entry? I didn't understand exactly why those were there. If they're something you do with your friends or a little something extra for your reader, you might want to explain what they are & possibly give them their own page - or at least add them seperately from your real entries. What I did read throughout your diary seemed to be more day-log type entries. Occassionally, you would mention something interesting, but you mostly seemed to ramble. I would assume your diary is centered around your friends & family, which is perfectly fine - for your friends & family. A random reader probably doesn't care to read about your day at school & what you plan to do this weekend. Nor, would they understand Kasey's Questions or Unconscious Mutterings. Stick to writing for your friends. Although, there was one entry that I enjoyed - the glimpse into your real diary. If you could only open up that way to your online diary, you would probably have a lot more readers & could possibly inspire a lot of christians.
Favorite Entries: (10/25) Valentine.Odd Facts.. - I liked the lists, but felt they deserved their own pages.
Personality: Secretive. Impersonal. Confused. Christian. Understanding. Easygoing.
Quotes: Nothing really stood out. Sorry.
Your song: Cat Stevens - The Wind. I get an 'old-fashioned' vibe from you & this song always makes me feel old. I's a beautiful song, if you care to give it a listen.
Your new name: Amy suits you. It's simple & also the name of a young girl my friend, Damian, was once infatuated with ... who was a christian & her favorite color was blue. Ironic, eh?
You should be: more open & open-minded. I didn't get a lot from your writing. I don't know if it was because you held back or because you're just sheltered, but it would have been nice to get your stance on a few major issues - politics, abortion, homosexuality/brokeback mountain - things that other people could argue with or relate to.
You remind me of: sweaters. I know that probably sounds absurd, but I imagine you wearing sweaters ALL the time. Baby blue sweaters.
Comments: Your diary is fine, if you plan on keeping it focused towards your friends & a few other people, but if you want to expand your horizons & possibly gain a few new readers - I suggest some organization. Some explanations (Questions & Mutterings). Some more open-hearted/minded entries. You're a good person & surely you have more things on your mind than what you write about.
Would I Come Back: (10/20) Maybe later to check for improvement.
Total Score: 115/190
