2003-04-18 - :: you and me // me and you ::
Layout 85/100: There is a design link, but it takes you to a locked diary, so I'm wondering wether this was custom made for you? I'm wondering who the girl on the picture is. At first I thought that this was a teenage girls diary, and that that image was you. Is it someone you know, or just some random person? The blue tint on the picture looks really good as it goes well with everything else. I really like this design. The checker board effect in the background looks good with the choice of colours that have been used. That shade of blue on the black looks really nice. The only things that bug me about this design are that "Powered by softawarewings.com" box in the top left corner. I tried to close it but it wouldn't let me. The butterfly looks really pretty flying around on the page. However it did annoy me when it landed on the text I was trying to read =) Also, the fact that the image doesn't extend to the length of the text box. It means that there is a black space underneath it. Maybe it would look better with the drop down menu in that black space? The inline scroll bar looks nice. All the links on the navigation work.
Content 98/100: I absolutely *loved* your diary. It was brilliant. Before I started this review, I spent about 2 hours reading it. I read all of the bit about your childhood. It brouhgt a tear to my eye. You are so brave to have written all that down. It's written really well too. In the third person, which is a new idea that I've not seen anyone else who has written a bio do. It was filled with so much emotion, you really poured your heart out. You don't hold back when writing about your self, and that's what makes it so enthrawling to read. Your content is generally very long, but it doesn't get boring. It took me a long time to read your diary, and I read a lot. I'm adding this diary to my favourites =) It must be some of the best content I have read on Diaryland. The only reason I deducted two points, was because I noticed a few typo's in your entries. Sorry, I'm just a perfectionist =)
Insight 100/100: This is a very insightful diary. You have delved into your past and you write about your life today too. You fill every entry with feeling and emotion. I learnt a lot about you from reading your diary. I think this layout also suits you well. Especially the image. It seems as though the women in your life have had the most impact on you. Ie your sister. I couldn't help but think it might be your sister or your daughter, but I don't know.
Errors 100/100: None at all.
Annoyances 72/100: The butterfly kind of annoyed me after a while. Also that black space under the picture. I noticed that when you hover over the links that the curser changes to the resize one. I don't like that.
Extras 90/100: Quite a lot of extras.
Total 545/600 - 90.8%
Would I come back? Definately. You also get added to "The Best" on moo-review, for getting 90%.
