Simple Strawberry

Username: [1/10 points] Okay, so let me get all this straight, we have volleyball, 26, and gothic? Well, for starters, I've never seen a gothic volleyball player. Pardon my misconception of "goth" kids, but I thought they didn't like sports, or sunlight. Plus, we have a random 26 in the middle of this gothic volleyball. If I clicked on it, it would be for no other reason than to laugh. I hope you're not a joke, hon.

First Impression: [10/20 points] Super scary [and gothic] strawberry. I'm sorry, I will torture you with labeling yourself gothic in your username throughout this review. Deal.

Content: [20/55 points] Well, the first few entries I read got me interested. I felt that you could have shared a little more information that would have gotten the reader more interested, but it was still enough information to make me want to know more. I hate to say this, but the rest of your diary is pointless. It's boring dayily accounts of what you do yourself or with your friends. It's not that enticing to me, but I'm sure your friends enjoy checking your diary everyday. I don't take off points unless the punctuation and grammar really bother me, since no one is perfect. You don't capitalize anything, but names. You use internet slang way too often. You use unnecessary ellipsis in all of your entries. One entry is basically an entire paragraph, because you rarely use periods. As a visitor to your blog, I don't like it. I don't know who people are, I have no idea about the events going on in your life, I don't know anything about you and you just throw it at me all at once. It's the worst kind of diary to review, in my opinion. If you're going to focus your diary and your friends, at least add a cast page, so random readers can get an idea of who these people are.

Layout: [10/40 points] I can't find a designers link anywhere. I'm automatically taking off 10 points for that, because I don't feel like you designed this yourself. The layout itself is fairly nice. It has a great spring touch to it and that's one of the only reasons I like it. Why do you have "PUPPIE89" at the top left corner? I don't see any point for that at all and it doesn't have any connection with the layout as far as I can see. I don't like the "Simple Strawberry" at the top either. I just don't like anything written on a layout unless it's lyrics, a name, or something with significance and "Simple Strawberry" doesn't seem that important to me. Your links down the left side run over into your entry area. It isn't that bad, but it looks tacky. If you did self-design this layout, I apologize, and I suggest you do some editing to clear up the minor problems. Let me know if you designed it yourself and I'll add your 10 points back. Another thing I just noticed is that the links section scrolls and your "contact" and "archives" links can only be seen if you scroll far to the right. Big no-no.

Contact: [2/5 points] AIM. Email.

Personality: Random. Happy. Normal. Hyper. A good friend. Sweet. Innocent.

Extras: [4/10 points] Friends. Links. About Me. Archives.

Am I linked: [5/5 points] I am now. Quick save, doll.

Favorite entries: [15/25 points] The 3 most recent entries. I can't link them on blogger, sorry.

Originality: [2/10 points] I got that sweet and innocent vibe from you, but other than that I found nothing too original about you.

Quotes:

yeah orange was her favorite color so thats why we where orange on special events for her. she died last year on October 8. October 9th was a sad day in school i spent most of the day in counsiling with my friends and then i went home and then her memorial was later that night...i went with erin....i dont feel like talking about it anymore...rip shauna.

Most Memorable: The situation with that Kaleena girl. I hate people like that.

Comments: If you want more people to be interested in reading your diary, focus things to a wider audience than the people you are reading your diary. Most people aren't going to want to read about your friend spending the night and eating ice cream. Also, lack of punctuation and capitalization bother me, immensely. If nothing else, capitalize the beginning letter of a sentence and use periods, not ellipsis. The layout could use a little tweeking too.

Would I come back: [10/20 points] I doubt it, but I might.

Total: [79/200]
