First Impression {2-5}

The layout is nice, I love the colours. One of the first things I noticed (mostly from your review request) was your bad grammar....This might be a long ride...


Layout {13-25}

This is a Falling Star Design, so it's almost guaranteed to look nice. The coral and black look amazing together and match the colours in the image.

All in all, the layout is clean, except for the navigation bar. I would suggest that after your guestbook link and before the link back here, you put a break tag (< br>) which will seperate the two and generally look alot better. Use that tag after your "hates" blurb and before your "chatter box". Something else that will make your "chatter box" look better would be if it wasn't centered. If I were you, before the chatter box HTML I would also put in an end center tag (< /center>). This will help your navigation bar look alot more organized.


Username {2-5}

A shortened version of your name, Cortney and I'm assuming you're a virgo. Makes sense, isn't very original.


Content {10-50}

Is this some kind of joke? Did you even attend grade school or were you high the entire time? If I read another sentence ending with "..." I'll chuck this computer across the room. You don't capatalize, you don't use apostrophes, you put periods in the middle of sentences and you never I repeat, never put the "g" at the end of "ing". I'm actually feeling sorry for your english teacher right now.

"i cant spell right now if anyone notices". I almost pissed myself when I read that. Hello? You NEVER can spell. I don't know if you're aware but "scared" doesn't have an "i". THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS SCARIED. "Grandpa" has no "w", "with" has more than one letter and a slash, "you" is three letters long, "girl" has an "i", not a "u"...the list goes on. If you can't figure out how to spell something don't try to blow it off with a (spelling?), spell check it on your WinWord or, if you don't have that use Google or Dictionary.com.

Your actual content was confusing as hell. You don't explain yourself when you're telling a story. Take this for example. I was under the impression that you an Josh were happy together, then BAM, you're broken up? I'll need some explaining, please. You can't just leave it at "we broke up" this is a public diary, and when people don't know you in real life, they don't know all the details. You have to tell them.

What is this? A shout-out page? This doesn't belong in your diary. Get a Piczo for stuff like that.

Instead of cluttering your entries with all those quotes you put at the end, I suggest making a new page for them all.

I'm under the impression that this is a diary for you to update your offline-friends on your life. If that's the case you shouldn't be getting a review. If you want to get a better review next time, fix your grammar and learn how to spell. Take one topic and expand on it until you know the reader fully understands what you're talking about.

Favorite Entries

I have none.

The one thing that was quite entertaining, however, was the fight going on in your chatterbox.


Errors {-5-5}

Your entire diary is an error. The abundance of links that don't work is laughable. For your previous and next links, you have to change the %%PREV%% and %%NEXT%% to lowercase. For your profile, guestbook and notes links, your actually have to enter your username in. For your email link, you have to enter your email in.

Now add those and your inability to spell or use proper grammar, yes, you get a negative-five.


Extras {0-5}

Nada.


Lasting Impression {0-5}

I'd rather shoot myself in the face.
