First Impression = [5/5]
I'm in love with this layout. I have to tell you, I've dropped in at least 10 times before doing this review just to play with the pics.
Where's the link? = [6/5]
On the review page, where else? What? Did you miss it there? It's on the profile too!
Layout = [35/30]
I don't remember the last time I gave bonus points for a layout, but you deserve them. Self design, black background, white text, purple links. Your graphics are amazing, I could play with them all day. The banner up top is beautiful. When you run the mouse over the banner, it has kind of a liquid effect when it highlights where the mouse is. You have all your links listed neatly to the left, another beautiful graphic which also lights up when you hover, and then your entry. More awesome graphics to play with under the navigation that also have the hover effect, linking to other things. Man, I used to think unjane- had the most beautiful layout on diaryland, but yeah, I think you beat her in my book.
More stuff to play with on the older page! Guestbook is a perfect match. I love the fade between pages.
Uhm, do I have to say it again?
Not a dislike, but a suggestion. Ever consider dropdown menus? (Yeah, I'm pushing them a lot lately). Since you have quite a few links, it may help those with smaller browsers (I'm on 1024x768, but I checked it out under 800x600). On a smaller browser, there are just too many scrolls. But condensing your links either with dropdowns or fewer pages could help. You could then bring up the last 5 and your disclaimer, and it would be browser friendly. On the guestbook...why no scroll for the navigation like the other pages? Also, could just be my browser setup...but the text is a little small, especially when you use italics.
Content = [20/20]
I have to tell you, I read this review the second it was posted and awaited your reply. I felt so bad not being able to help you out, but I'm glad you still got a decent score. I thought your maturity to the review was really astounding; I think the majority of reviewees don't feel the way you do. The one about your grandmother really touched me and made me think. You're right, life should be feared more so than death. The picture of her made it a little harder to swallow a tear or two. The end of this entry caught my attention. Listen, I've said this before and I'll say it again. This is your diary. Don't change what you write for a reviewer or anyone else. If you do, then it becomes less you...and you might as well stop writing then.
I thought the anniversary was really touching, it's nice that two divorced people can still celebrate like that and stay in each others lives. Sometimes being friends is better than being married, but then again other times it's a disaster. The entry about sex, well one of your entries about sex anyway, I can understand...and I'm a woman! It's probably 'slutty' of me to say, but I think once in a while it would be nice to just go and do some stranger. Not like the old days though my friend, too much going around. Internet connections are easier because there are no fears. You're not worried about what you look like at the time, or first impressions. It's an exchange of words without the worry.
Jumped to the beginning of your diary, and read your first entry. Trust me, I understand male scorpios, I'm with one! In the middle of the entries on this page is a very hot and steamy story! Damn boy, you know how to make a girl need a cold shower!
Errors = [5/5]
Yeah right, this guys a perfectionist! Eek, spoke too soon. Not sure if this is a dland problem, my problem, or your problem, so I won't take points off, but on this entry, the next link refuses to get off the current entry.
Contact = [4/4]
Guestbook, guestmap, notes, email, aim.
Organization = [10/10]
Like I said under layout, you could condense some stuff. But it's organized at least. You have more than enough previous and next links...it's under navigation twice and then under the entry! Your older page looks great, all is good on this end.
Updates = [10/10]
You have a few skips here and there, but multiples as well. It all evens out.
Bonus = [6/5]
I refuse to list them all! Okay, I'll try, but most likely will miss something. Self design, readers, faves, recommend link, about me, ethnicity, 100 things, philosophy, liquid-mojo link, guestmap, photos and art, quizzes, quotes, wanted, friends, more links, two other links, some more links, bonus galore!
Will I be coming back? = [6/6]
You're already on my faves.
What I thought of the diary?
Yes, you're a guy. Yes, you talk about sex. But it's not really all you talk about as some others seem to say. There's a lot of soul searching to be found in this diary. You write about your struggles with love and relationships as well as sex, and that's okay. Your diary appears like more of a roadmap through your emotions, trying to figure out what makes you happy, what you need, what you want, and what you desire. Keep it up, it's perfect as is.
Number of entries read = Oh boy, 70 maybe?
Total: 107/100, welcome to the Hall of Fame.
