Content:[24/25] I don't particularly know why, but your diary reads to me like someone who relives every moment to a captive audience, willing to share all thir experiences vividly with amazing words in order for them to understand another character in the world. I like this writing, it has great fluency which is lacking in many other diaries. Your content is extremely varied, not the same reptitive drains that we have come to know and love on so many others sites. This is unique, but I can also see how this diary has to be interpreted personally. You will either love it, hate it, or not mind it. One of those diaries. However, whatever the subject matter, you do have to realise that this online diary is a true diary in the sense of the word.
Starlight has remained true to the original ideas of what a diary should be, merely online instead. Apart from that, the variation is good and draws the reader back to see what you will look at next, your spelling, writing skills, grammar and all those tedious things are all in order.
It's nothing out of the ordinary that has not been done before, but starlight has mastered the skill of expressing the within, and that should be marked accordingly.
Layout: [16/25] Personally, I think this is an awful, awful layout. I really personally hate it. In fact, I can't stand it. however, you have not been marked according to my personal hatred for it. It is neat, it expresses your love of cats and animals, and the colours work well. The site is user friendly with considerate navigation. This, I need to mark well. However, the marks are lower for the cluttered aspect of your page with all the cutesy links and that moving cat thing. The moving cat instantly loses marks. I would suggest that you put all your moving links and all those links that are down that side into a page of their own. It just detracts from the writing, which is not what you want.
Updates: [12/10] Holy shit, every day without fail and multiples.
Extras: [14/10] Lyrics, photos, Friday Five, reviews, days left to my birthday countdown, 'what I recommend' links, cast, sitemeter, some partiotic thing, guestmap, bookmarks, at the movies, soundtrack, buddies of the writer, favourite entries page, rings, 101 facts. So much work has gone into this diary. It is very appreciated.
Errors:[10/10] Would you really expect one on a page so well maintained?
Bonus:[5/5] So much on this page, so much work into a diary which I think deserves bonus marks.
Contact:[5/5]Guestmap, guestbook, notes, aol, yahoo.
Returning:[2/5] While I personally am not all entirely fussed about this diary, I will return because I think this diary is worth the read, even if it is only occassionally done.
