CONTENT 55/70
Well I have to say I am not really sure what to say about your content. Obviously I didn�t read your entire diary since you have been keeping it for quite awhile. The best way that I could describe this is that you are a real �diarist� as opposed to a journalist, if that makes sense. You write mostly about the everyday things going on in your life, in your case being school, family, etc. And while recording everyday events is the conventional purpose of a diary, for someone who has not read your diary before this review, I felt a little lost. It�s sort of like starting to watch a soap opera you�ve never seen before and trying to figure out who everyone is and what�s going on, you know? This is not an insult to you, because even though there is nothing particularly shocking or fascinating about your actual content, I have to say you are a very excellent writer for being on 17. You are very positive, optimistic about life, and oddly enough even mention enjoying the mood swings that come along with being a teenager. You seem like a very creative and artistic person. Even without being interested in your goings on with choir and whatnot, I was able to tell a lot about your personality through your writing. You should really let that come out more. Write more about what you are thinking, what you are feeling, maybe even try expressing yourself through poetry, because you really do have a gift for writing, it�s the subject matter that I feel is hurting you a little bit. Just remember this is only my opinion and not a slam on you, just encouragement to broaden your topics so as to really exhibit your strong writing skills!
STYLE 9/10
With the exception of a few spelling errors here and there, which were probably typos, your spelling and grammar are fine, better than most in fact, especially taking into account your age.
DESIGN 10/10
I really enjoyed your design. I think it fits your personality. It�s very dreamy looking with the velvety blue and the picture of the phoenix. And you designed it yourself so that�s a plus. You did a great job!
NAVIGATION 5/5
Your navigation is great. Just the basic links at the top, which are very pretty by the way, and those lead to all the extra goodies, of which you have tons, which is great!
FREQUENCY 4/5
You are just a tad on the sporadic side with your entries, but for the most part they are quite good in length, which is good.
