The Surface

Layout Friendliness – I really liked your older layout.. The new one is a lucky design. This new pink one, however, I do not like. Pink happens to be my least favorite color. And yours is full of pink. The guestbook is different than the main page… maybe make them both the same layout? Usually I don’t care about layouts, to me it’s the words that count. However, pink really, REALLY is my least favorite color. The drop down box cuts off the border, and on the archived page it cuts off the top arrow which is a tad annoying. 1/5

Small Things –I’m definitely not a fan of “y’all” or any contraction type things like that. I don’t really mind nothin’ or something like that, but not y’all or ain’t. Your spelling’s not that great, but that’s ok. Some of the links didn’t work… 8/10

Stalker Resources – guest book, e-mail, notes, tag thingy, guestmap 5/5

Moving About – navigation in a drop down menu, easily accessible. 5/5

Going Deeper

Pleasing Style – at times you can be humorous, though I didn’t like all the OHMYGOSHes. Here and there you can find emotion, not all the time though. 10/15

Content – I found myself smiling sometimes while reading your entries. Some were cute. Though, I don’t really connect with any of your writings cause of the age difference, but I’m sure younger people and your friends like it. This made me smile… you’re so excited about having a locker lol. yea, lockers are cool when you first get them. The glory wears off after a couple months though. I hope you meant Chinese food when you said “2) I hate chinese.” Because I happen to be a very very small percent of chinese….. You’ve never seen the ocean?! You must see it… it’s pretty awesome. Especially at sunrise and sunset. You basically talk about daily stuff, but it can sometimes spark a bit of my interest. However, hearing about you having to give yourself a shot made me squeamish. Shots are not my thing. Reading this made me remember when I was younger, and how I thought my life was so hard. And now I look back on it and realize how easy it used to be. Sometimes a bit of emotion is shown. I see quite a few entries talking about how ‘no one cares about you’. Which is obviously not true seeing as you’re up on the top 100 diaries ;) sit tight kid, life works out in the end. And you don’t really need more than a couple close friends. New friends are a nice thing, but you want quality over quantity. I don’t really agree with some of the stuff in your diary, such as this. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Halloween... It’s fun. And cool because you get to see adorable little kiddies running amuck and having a great time. The first paragraph in this came out of nowhere. That alternative is never the way to go (even if it’s only a little), but especially at such a young and impressionable age. I’m glad you’ve decided to stop, though. Over all your content was ok. It made me smile, cringe, laugh, and sigh. You don’t show all that much emotion, but sometimes there’s a bit of the stuff. Your grammar makes me want to cry, but oh well. 34/50

Miscellaneous

Frequency of Updates – You updated pretty much everyday, though there are some days missing. Lots of multiples though. Just one thing, is there any way you can make it so the date is always set up the same? Like choose between month/day/year and day/month/year. I’m not taking points off for that… I just wanted to suggest. 5/5

Coolness – I couldn’t really associate with your entries, mainly because we’re not the same age. I guess to someone a bit younger it would be cooler, but I’m just not digging it. Though some were cute and did make me smile, and many made me remember and think about when I was younger… 3/5
