first impressions
older.html: Looks like orange sherbert. :) Links are all the same colour, though. Some navigation in a drop-down and archives in a box below that.
entries: Match archives layout. I'm starting with 030604_14.html

general aesthetics
Pretty. :) Text is black in Verdana at 11px - no problem with the size or contrast. The links don't show up all that well in the smaller size but otherwise everything's fine.

layout
Design by Lissy. Nicely straightforward - from top to bottom: graphic header, header pic, title, time & date, entry, back/forward navigation. Lovely.

user-friendliness
Mixed. The bulk of the navigation & links are in a drop-down. The hover cursor is a hand and the hover effect is line-through - tolerable. Scrollbar's good, though.

navigation
Previous and next are at the end of the entry but everything else is in the drop-down at the top. Annoying. Also, the previous link is called "then" (which some might mistake for archives) and the next is called "now" (which seems more like current than next). Still, we blame the designer for that.

continuity
Frequent updates - daily as a rule, and more than once a day, as a rule. Well done. :)
5 points

comprehension
Some common spelling mistakes and typos, otherwise coherent. Grammar and punctuation are about average, but nothing I can't understand. :)

content
Quite a bit of blog-type content (particularly quiz results - and what seems like half of Quizilla here), a few lists, some AIM convos... (skim, skim, skim) And the rest is very average - going to the mall, hanging out with friends, general teen stuff. It's all right, I suppose, but I don't feel like there's much I can get into, and I don't see anything really deep. Phooey.

Wow, you know what? I've written 100 entries. Isn't that crazy? I know some of them shouldn't count, because they were rings and such. But, still. 100. Shouldn't I be doing a big musical number or something? Whatever.
Those damn litter rats

I had to go shopping for more church clothes, because I don't have enough, says my mom. Bleh, I hate dressing up. I got this low cut black stretchy shirt that *I* personally don't think was very appropriate for church. My mom promised no one would care. Well, anyways...I love that shirt. I'm not going to be wearing it to church, ahem, but other times, yes.
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar

Anywho, then we went to the pool (Because there were some hot hot boys...and we wanted to be cool and sit around the pool for 15 minutes. GO US!) and sat out. And I'm still not tan, dammit. Well then we went back, and we were all confused and stuff because it was hot out. Bleh, we were talking about fat people sweating more, and then, out of the blue, I go BLALES HAVE WHUBBER TO KEEP THEM WARM...Haha, I'm an idiot.
Wait, don't put on your brace, then I can't push you in the pool!

contact
Email and guestbook in the drop-down, but I have to view source to find out what they are.

my comments

I figure you for an "average" teen diarist. This doesn't make your diary bad, just uninteresting to me personally. Next time you change layouts, though, do try to get one where the visited and unvisited links are different colours. :)

Archive structure is non-existent - everything going back to December 15 is on the one page.
