I waited two months for a D???

Okay, about 2 months ago I asked for a diary review. Courtney's rolling her eyes right at this moment, I know it. But they took forever to get around to it and I soon forgot, well I noticed the other day I was next in line. To my suprise they reviewed my diary right while I was switching templets. So of course everyhting was not working right when it should have been.
I am not mad at my score, I understand lot of stuff, but whatever. It took you two months to even look at it and I was 5th on your list. How old are you? 16? Anyways. I guess she didn't like it. Oh well, her loss. I will say this like an hour ago, I was still sort of not feeling, this templet, but left it cause it was Sunday night and I needed a break. My quest will begin once again in the morning while at work. *sigh* My score made me feel like I was in highschool again but I'm proud of my D!

Diary: klutzygirl

Title: KlutzyGirl’s Chaotic Life!

First impression: Oh God. Not another “Be Free” template!

Template: As I just said, not another “Be Free” template? I have seen this template too many times. It is probably the most popular template going around in diaryland right now, and there is a reason why. The colors go together amazingly, and just the feeling this template sets off, inspires any woman to just be free and not hold back. But as I said, this template is just too damn common. Everyone and their god damned momma has it. I hate it when people just follow the crowd. Although it’s common, I cannot patronize you for it. You probably did not know that it’s popular. But I really wish you would change it. Now here comes the fun part. It’s time for me to tear this template apart and point out the damage you have placed upon it.

Everything bellow the site meter needs to disappear. You just need to pull a Carson off of Queer Eye for the Straight guy and throw all that shit out of the window. For your extras, which happen to be bellow the site meter, here’s what you do. MAKE A PAGE FOR THEM! Simple as that. Just put all those extras on a page, instead of having them crowd your template. And while your at it, make a contacts page too, so now you can get rid of your Attention thing, that is also causing major un-neatness on your entry page. That way, not only are you extra organized, but you don’t overcrowd your template. Kapeesh? You also need to add your “next” and “previous” links.

Onto the archives page. Buaha. Your font is huge. Common error. Fix it. You also need to fill in the “am, loves, hates, feels” crap. Not only that, but you need to archive your older entries, big time. Overall, the template is okay. I’m not to fond of it since I have seen it so many times, but yet, I have to keep an unbiased and look at it as if I have never seen it before in my fucking life. Credit for this template goes to Kelly of Diva Designs. 20/30

Content: Started here, and all I have to say is good job. I know how that goes. I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Go us! This entry was a bore, until I got to the ending paragraph. I could sort of relate to that, except I would be the person running down the street with the sign, announcing that I lost weight.

Freaking wow. Have you ever heard of something called spacing? Come on…I know you want to push that enter button. I cowered in fear when I saw that entry. It’s extremely difficult as a reviewer to read something like that. I have the urge right now to just click that X in the button and save me from this torture. There is something we call too much detail and that’s what you did. You added too much detail. We don’t need to know that your mother ordered pizza for you and your sister. Give me some emotion, not just dry detail!

Sigh. Too much detail again. You give me no reason to read your diary. I am bored and beyond. Please, just stop with all the detail. We don’t need to know everything you did in your day. Just write about the important things happening. I mean, come on. If you looked back on that entry, would you want to read it?

Oh. My. God. That is all in one huge paragraph. Space. That’s one of the most important lessons you are ever going to learn from me. Space! I found that picture quite hilarious, though.

I most definitely agree with you here. Johnny Depp is very nice looking (Orlando is better though). It’s a shame he’s 40...and has 2 kids. Sigh…But yes, Pirates of the Caribbean is the best movie in Disney history. No doubt about it. Awww. That’s nice of you to do that for the cooking challenged.

No more TTFN’S! Spell it out, if you want to say it so bad.

I can definitely tell your writing style has changed. You don’t add as much detail as you once did, and I’m thankful for that. The one thing you need to work on is giving out the emotion…your diary is mostly daylogish which can get very uninteresting. I truthfully found your content boring. You sound like I wonderful person, and I’m sorry, but your content just wasn’t my cup of tea. 19/40

The link: It’s in your profile. 5/5

Errors: Ah, yes. Your rings page does not work, and a lot of the time you over exaggerate your exclamation points and question marks. You only need one! I saw some typos, but as I have said repeatedly…typos are typos, who actually cares? You also really need to put up the “next” and “previous” buttons. It’s extremely annoying to go back and forth to your archives page over and over again. 1/5

Extras: Although I wish they were better organized, you do have enough. 5/5

Contact: Indeed. 5/5

Organization: Ah yes. I will help you out here. As I said, you need to make an extras and a contacts page. It is needed. Everything else is nicely organized. 8/10

Bonus points: Nope.

Comments/advice: Please get another template. The template you have is way to common…and as for your writing, GIVE ME THAT EMOTION! I know you have a lot of it building up inside of you, why not let it out? Also, make those extra and contacts page I told you about. If you need any help, just contact me and I would love to help you out in any way possible. I feel horrible about your final score, but you wanted my opinion and I’m giving it to you. I hope that you appreciate having the truth told to you, rather than someone lying straight to your face…

Final score: 63, D.
