***** 01.13.02 :: somefntastic Contact: Email & Guestbook (5/5) Errors: None! (5/5) Navigation: The main links are lined up down the left side of the page, and there is a drop down menu for fav diaries at the bottom right of the page. Everything is self-explanatory. (10/10) Updates: You write about three times a week now with multiple entries on a few days, but there is a gap of four months in your archives. (12/15) Layout Design: I like the images you have chosen to use in your design. The black and white of the images goes well with the black and white theme that you have carried over to your background and text. You have a lot of things going on on your main entry page and with the space between your columns being small it tends to make things feel bunched up to me. You might think about possibly decreasing the width of your text column to allow for more space between content. You have some plain text links to your notes, guestbook, etc. located under your main image on the left side of the page. You might think about adding another drop down menu to include these links. It would eliminate the need for more text in the left hand column and would make the page look cleaner. You also may want to move your drop down menu containing your favorite diaries closer to your main navigation so it is not over looked when people visit your diary. I like the layout of your older page but you might want to considering carrying the same layout through to that page also. It tends to keep the diary more organized if the design is the same throughout. I think you have a great start on this design. The images are great. I think that with a little more organizing this design will be great! (15/20) Content: You mostly write about the events of your daily life. I liked your sense of humor in places, but for some reason, at times, I found it hard to stay interested. Your entries are all of a good length, and you have the grammar under control. There is some strong language used in your diary which for the most part did not bother me. Although I will say that something about using a certain word next to Christmas in the title of this entry did strike me a little funny. I realize you weren't really using it to describe Christmas, though. (30/35) Would I come back? I had a good time visiting, but I probably wouldn't come back on a regular basis. (2/5) Bonus: about me page, profile, quiz page, a archive of "currents" from past days, rings, links page, notes, IM, talk box, page counter, favorite diaries (5/5) *****
