Oh, cool. I love Exploding Dog!
Layout= [28/30]
I'll tell you something, I had no idea this was a Lissy Design. When I put my mouse over your design link and it said http://lisdesign.diaryland.com, I was totally shocked. Way to pick a Lissy that I've never seen before!
That said, I'm kind of torn as to what I should give you for this. I really like the Exploding Dog picture, and I'm in love with the link placement. I'm not a big fan of the scrollbar, and I don't really like the shade of gray - it may be just a tad too dark. Otherwise, this layout is pretty cute. I like it.
I'm not sure I like the way your archives page is laid out. With all the entries paragraphed like that, it tends to make your archives page a little long. But it doesn't annoy me all that much, and the idea to lay it out like you did is incredibly creative.
Content= [25/20]
I read your cast and about pages, and right from the start they caught me. So after reading the skimmy on you, I started at the top, and do you know what I found? A really good read. The first actually entry I read was this, which I totally agree with. And I like how up front you are about this type of situation. Your list of previous relationships cracked me up. I found it awesome that I went from totally agreeing with you, let's kill the media, to laughing with you about your love life in one entry flat. And ALL IN THE FIRST TWO ENTRIES I READ!!!! How refreshing!!!
"Realized that I probably have more "pending" reviews than I do entries." That made me laugh, thinking back to your pending reviews section. And you have them all neatly alphabetized!
"I don't have a fucking life. I didn't even leave the goddamned house today. I just woke up, brushed my teeth, and got online. Haven't left since, except for soda, food, and the six steps to the bathroom." I can totally relate to that. I know exactly what you mean. I relate to that entire entry, because I have the same thoughts about overanalyzing things.
I laughed my ass off at your .000001 of a millimeter entry. The way you put it onto the page just made it absolutely hilarious.
Of all your entries, this was probably my favorite. You got me teary-eyed, with how powerful this was. What an awesome way to summarize your feelings about him.
I could continue to point out bits and pieces of your diary that I loved, but I would probably lull you to sleep. I'll put it this way - you are an entertaining, amazing read. Your literary style is absolutely stellar, and you tell everything in such a perceptive way that I can almost believe I'm there. You have an amazing diary, one so amazing that it kept me reading for two hours.
I haven't found a diary yet as refreshing as yours. I think you deserve some extra points for that.
Where's the link= [5/5]
On the links page. And may I say you have a ton of pending reviews lined up!
Errors= [4/5]
The only error I could find was that your template switched from 800x600 intended resolution to 1024x768. It says on your template that it's best viewed in 10-7. Please fix them all so they're all 10-7 intended.
Contact= [4/4]
E-mail, notes, guestbook, AIM.
Organization= [10/10]
It's organized exactly like it should be. Links are all grouped and categorized. I especially love how you have your previous and next links in two different places. Ingenious!
Updates= [8/10]
Yeah, you skip some. You skipped quite a lot back in April, but you offer your reasons for why you skipped. You skipped practically all of February, but that still doesn't make me mad. I know of some reviewers who would be all "You get no points for missing so many days!" I don't care. Your writing style more than makes up for your missed days.
Bonus= [6/5]
I think I counted 11 extras. Um, I say you can have an extra point for that.
Will I be coming back?= [6/6]
I dunno what it is, but lately I've just been reviewing some really cool diaries. Welcome to my favorites list.
What I thought of the diary?
There are no words. Excellent. Absolutely excellent.
Number of entries read= after a while, I just stopped counting and read. Can we go by number of minutes spent reading the diary?
Total: [101/100] Enjoy the Hall of Fame!
