First Impression: Ms. Mary Mack Mack Mack, All dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons... Fuck... I've got this god awful hand game song stuck in my head now. No good. Sparkles are not good either... sparkles are very bad.

Aesthetics

8: Color Scheme: Simple and pretty. I really like that color red. My only issue is that it is a little bit hard to read on a black background since it is so dark. Try going a few shades brighter.

6: Image: This image really distracts from the entry, and is frankly making me a bit sick. It's not back, just try dropping the animation, it's not so easy on a reader. I also have a bit of an issue with lack or originality. Granted, the sparkles are something I haven't seen before, but just having your name as the focal point of your layout doesn't really do it. Points, though, for having something I've never seen.

6: Organization: The thing I abhor about people's links is when the visited links are a total different style than the original. It looks tacky in my opinion. If your links are going to be white, leave them that color, and don't let them change after they've been clicked. I have an issue with the links box and the image and how close together they are. Try changing the background value from "#000000" to "transparent." Other than that, I guess the organization is okay, I just don't really like the way the template is put together.

Whoa... did you know you have a counter? Is it invisible on purpose? That's interesting.

Written Word

8: Grammar: Paragraphs would be very nice. Sometimes your paragraphs only have one space so it is still line after line. Hit the return key twice, because it makes for proper paragraphs. Either do that, or indent, it would be easier to read. However, you have reasonably good grammar.

20: My Opinion: Started here. I have no idea what you are talking about. After that, yes, everyone hates AOL, we all know that it is bad and evil, so therefore, you have no reason to be posting it in your diary.

I hate it when people do that. It's evil. I used to have a design site and people would do that to me. Twas no fun. There are places on diaryland that you can report them to. I know black list (I have them linked) lists people that are bad about reviews, and there is a place for design stealers too.

I'm maybe 10 entries into my reading (not quite sure) but you aren't really writing about anything. You're commenting on your babies and posting pictures, but emotion is lacking (minus the entry about Joe Ashley).

Ah, and the damn Wiggles are part of the reason I'm never having kids. Kidding, but seriously, let's just blow them up.

Hahaha, okay, I'm starting to see a little weak wit, and you can be funny when you want (my nose running like Forrest Gump).

Later, you say you hate reading. My thought: Are you crazy?. Try reading The Bell Jar, The Da Vinci Code, or something by Kurt Vonnegut.

Okay, so I'm done reading to the most recent entry and I don't hate you, which is a good step. However, I don't particularly like you very much either. Reason being, your writing doesn't usually grab me. For some reason, however, I cannot fathom why, I sort of like you. <3

6: Writing Style: You're just like... a mom. There's nothing really poetic or particularly witty or funny, so there's nothing about your writing to say. It's not killing me to read, but the interest level is low.

Other

5: Contact: Just as big of a minimalist as I am in my diary. Good girl.

3: Username: Eh, it's okay. Like I said, it got that stupid hand game song stuck in my head, which made me quite unhappy.

2: Title: We get it, your name is Mary. That's cool, drop it already. I don't know, the title is overly repetitive in my opinion.

5: Link: It's there.

Other Comments: I'm so glad you find extras as unnecessary as I do. Those always affect my scores, and it confuses me, because why does a diary need links to random stupid things. It's a diary for the sole purpose of being a diary, not a circus.

I went to the review site you've been working at and read your review of for-you-only, and I think you put what you said very well. I agree with you for the most part (minus the pictures and going back to read), you're just nicer than I am.

Final Score: 69 / 100 that's amazing...
