I. Am. Jolene.
I will dedicate and sacrifice my everything
for just a seconds worth of how my story's ending
I wish I could know if the directions that I take
and all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
-Crawling in the Dark - Hoobastank
First Impressions: A really clean design - I like it.
[5/5]
Content:
Wow! You had a lot of entries! You write beautifully, giving lots of details. I really liked one of your more current entries, this one, about destiny. It was an interesting analogy, and made me think. :) I heard your emotion through your writing in this entry about your O-Level scores. I liked browsing through your entries. Sometimes they got a little wordy, though. Even though the description was a nice touch and you used it well, after a while I got a little bored (I have a short attention span). From your entries I got a great sense of who you are and what your interests (LOTR, Buffy (yay!)), however, and that is important. A short bio might be nice, though, to get a quick idea of who you are. I picked "Crawling in the Dark" especially because of the "all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing" part - it reminded me of things like your O-levels, where the choices you've made have ended up letting you down some (or at least, you not getting what you expect).

Design:
You made it yourself (at least, I am guessing as much, seeing as though there was no "design" link). I really liked it - it had a white background and grey text, yet the pictures you chose made it easy to look at as well. It didn't make my eyes hurt, and it was easy to understand. The only thing I found confusing was your archives section - the images were a good idea, but all of the images didn't load (at least on my computer), so I didn't realize they were links right away. Maybe putting alternate text for if/when images don't show up would be a good idea. Other than that, it was a great design.

Update:
You don't update everyday, there are big gaps sometimes, but you have a lot of multiples.
[8/10]
Navigation:
As I mentioned, the archives page could use some work, but other than that, the navigation was easy and convenient.
[3/5]
Errors:
Pictures loading (they didn't load for me in the "graphics" section either), a few spelling errors here and there, but that generally it was very good. The only thing I had problems with was a Phantom of the Opera image/link to diaryland showing up on many pages I clicked (past entries, mostly, though a few others as well). That made Kate confused - I think it was an error page, but I'm still not sure. :(
[2/5]
Contact:
You have a ton of ways to get in touch with you - AIM, yahoo and MSN messenger, three email addresses, ICQ, notes, and a guestbook. I am in awe. I'm giving you 1 bonus point, just because I am so impressed.
[6/5]
Bonus:
You, again, have quite a few extras - graphics, rings, quiz results, writings, links, and a special "extras" section.
[15/15]
Returnable:
I might return every once and a while - I was impressed with your writing. Honestly, though, your entries are too specific and wordy for my short attention span, so not too often.
[2/5]
Total: [82/100] yay :)
Kate has rocked your world.
rock n roll
