First Impression: (3/5) Mmmm, trebuchet. Ewwww, big size. Interesting code, interesting design, easy, basic, almost bland. I only stare in this section (never seen the site before) so we’ll see if the look matches the words.
Errors/Cohesions: (6/10)
-Your older page is in times new roman (change this on the older individual entries) and your links are different (on the link bar)
- There’s a missing image on your rings page.
-Fix constant pages like this so that there’s no jibber jabber on top, and maybe organize your links into categories or give them headers or something.
-Change the link on this page since it’s your first link on extras and it’s going to be seen a lot, meaning the link to imaphatpig.
-No points off: Best Page Ever.
-Your “best entries” page…don’t tell me that you’re too lazy to find your best, delete the page or update it to how you feel.
-On the extras page, change the diary links to hard links, imaphatpig, etc.
Navigation: (7/10) It’s all on the left, BUT, the older.html code is different, which is super yuck. Also: your extras page needs some organizational help, like a title {Favorite Entries} and underneath it should say, “A collection of my personal top ten where if you must read, read these.”
Layout: (30/50) Blah. From what I’ve read of your writing it’s funny at the very least. This template though? Really doesn’t match. And by really I mean not at all.
The font is “old lady big.” You know, like Reader’s Digest where they make everything giant so that old ladies don’t feel bad ‘cause they need their glasses to read. That’s just not tasty. But I would like to see something a bit more sophisticated for you.
That’s not going to be easy, I can tell. But I really think that this won’t fit. But, if you INSIST on keeping it, this is what we must change:
The font as well as the size. Try something more adult but with flair. Try Georgia, a small Arial, or Rockwell. Maybe something a little less boring but never a Verdana or Tahoma. Also, the color. Blue is so mellow. You’re not mellow. Pick a new color.
The placement of the nav box and entry box. I’d actually like to see the nav box on the right side and the entry box on the far left, maybe a little smaller because while you do have large entries, you don’t have long paragraphs, so you can get pretty narrow without being bad.
Still, I think you know my opinion about the design. Check my designers page.
Content: (20/25) Yay. In the very least, you’re entertaining. You’ve managed to capture the mundane character of life (Wal-Mart and all) and everything else but leave us completely in the dark about you. You decide if that’s good or bad. The only thing that worries me is that sometimes you’re a little too random. I don’t like when you “steal things from other diaries.” Or when you post quiz results. I’d rather hear your funny moments and arguments over sex. I think that just weakens your writing.
Final Score: (66/100) Only because you have so much room for improvement. New layout, new review, just ask again.
