Short bio: Owner and founder. 18 year old high school graduate who will be going to UC Santa Cruz fall 2003. Lives in the Monterey area. Loves writing, reading, graphic design, colors, friends, movies-- romantic, drama, psychological thriller, horror, etc, tv, music, animals, nature etc... Sweet, open-minded, honest, constructive, and can be sassy. An independent Christian who doesn't mindlessly, blindly believe in every word of the Bible.

Diary Likes: Beautiful layouts, lots of extras, poetry, quizzes, nice fonts, easy to navigate, in depth/emotional and "wow" writing that I can really get into (make me want to come back!), colors, and a good personality shining through. I also love it when someone appreciates the review enough to sign the *notes* to thank me! hint hint

Diary Dislikes: Lots of grammar and spelling errors, boring/ clashing or cluttered layout, bad writing in general, egotistical feel, judgmental-ness...

Aless [diary url] [email]
Short Bio: I am a 16-year-old living in S'pore, but I am from Italy. I call myself a writer, funny and special. Lots of people call me strange, which I can be sometimes. I'm not strange all the time, and I won't be while I'm doing your review, because I AM smart - IQ: 127 - and I will take you seriously. I can be very sarcastic and immodest at times, so watch out. I like a lot of sports, and I'm usually out playing them, like basketball, soccer - Soccer, which I call football... amazing... so very cool. It is something you MUST learn to love. - and rugby. I will not lie to you. I will tell you the absolute truth. You can count on me for sure. Remember soccer rocks.

Diary Likes: Cool (functional) layouts, a few extras, meaningful entries, Artistic/Poetic entries, good grammar, emotion-ful and descriptive writing, things that get the mind working, mainly... especially things that get you thinking. Yes, definitely.

Diary Dislikes: The opposite of what I DO like. Layouts that are a bit "too much," short/pointless entries, poor grammar/English, StIcKy CaPs, un-readable fonts, blinding colors, a lot of things, navigation menues like this: "[x] index" where the x is the actual link, complaining about things...

Short Bio: I'm 17, and live in the USA. I'm a very complex person, so if you want a reviewer who understands that every emotion has two or three or even FOUR sides to it then I'm your girl. I'm also all for constructive critcism and I will only give criticism in order to help you further your diary writing. I like to do a million things at once, which explains why I'm reviewing and running a design site and doing an internship and working part-time. I love boy's lacrosse, cheerleading, dance, and American football. I also am a big fan of music (anything from hip-hop to classical). I adore other cultures and other languages. Je parle français.

Diary Likes: I love diaries that are full of introspection, because I think that's what a diary should be. I also like to see a layout that reflects who you are. Quizzes and rings are a fun plus, but what I'm really looking for in your diary is you. I want to be able to feel who you are and why you feel the way you do. Poetry is great, yours or your favorites. Diaries of people in love are also a favorite of mine, since I can relate.

Diary Dislikes: I really dislike diaries in netspeak and diaries that whine about how unfair the whole world is. I also dislike pure daylogs, where the writer doesn't reflect on what happened. I don't like closed-minded people, and if you are racist/sexist/insertwordendingin-ist-here then please don't ask for me. I am a designer, and because I know how much work that takes I cannot stand diaries that have stolen a designer's work and failed to give them credit. I will report you, and your template score will be very low. I don't like diaryland templates much, though I understand sometimes they're a neccessary evil (just a hint... beautify ).

Short Bio: 19 year old college student, I am indeed a true Brit. Yes, I live in that cold damp place called England! I'm a music and film addict... I always have something playing in the background whatever I'm doing. I love the smell of Lavender, and being a passenger in a car - so I suppose, I'm a little strange! I'm studying Psychology and Sociology in College right now - so don't think I won't analyze your diary and find the hidden meanings!!

Diary Likes : I'm partial to people who design their diaries themselves. I like enough extras - but not *too* many! I think 101 Facts is a good way to find out someones personality, and am often hooked right until the last fact! And lets get one thing quite clear - a little bit of gratitude goes a long way - It doesn't take much to say Thank You - after all, It takes a long time to read and review a diary.

Diary Dislikes: I'm not keen on templates, especially ones with loud clashing colours. Spelling mistakes on a regular basis get on my nerves but mainly... I completely hate errors, with a passion. Links that don't work annoy me to the point of no return. If the link is there, make it work!!

Vickie [diary url] [email]
Short bio: 18 year old high school graduate who lives in Hong Kong, the owner of Lavish Review, and currently on a trial bases at Rouge Reviews. Very honest and open, could be harsh sometimes but never offensive (hopefully). An atheist that will not judge anybody basing on their religions and beliefs.

Diary Likes: Humour, organisation, functionality, original and beautiful layouts, interesting writing, etc.

Diary Dislikes: Rudeness, narrowmindedness, spelling mistakes, busy layouts, javascript errors, etc.

Short Bio: Everything was deleted by the reviewer before I had a chance to save it. But she has opened her own review site and you may request one there::

Laura [diary url] [email] *Back in late October?
Short Bio: I'm a seventeen year old girl from Iowa. I'm hoping to attend the University of Iowa with a major in Public Administration and then go to law school. I tend to be very honest but I'll try not to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm the captain of the color guard at my school and that takes up a lot of my time. The other big thing in my life is my boyfriend of 2 years. We're having some troubles right now but I'll keep you posted on that.

Diary likes: I love emotion that I can really get into. I want to feel what you're feeling. I also like to be able easily navigate your diary. My philosophy on diaries is that you write for yourself. I love to get entries in my guestbook..... **wink wink**

Diary dislikes: I hate color combinations that don't contrast enough so I can't read it. I also don't like a lot of depressing entries, a few add character but not all the time. The last thing that I can't stand is if I can't follow the story line because you have too many characters that you don't indentify.

Glennys [diary url] [email]
Short Bio: I'm a thirteen-going-on-fourteen year old girl from Canada. Basically I love my friends, music and basketball, and that's about it. I really like to laugh a lot and have fun and be crazy.

Diary Likes: Like I said, I like to laugh, so if you can throw a little humour into your entries, that's a plus. I also like when there's a lot of emotion in your diary. I don't mind a little internet slang...an "lol" here or there is okay, but not all the time. It's okay if your diary is a bit of a day-log, as long as you make it interesting. Tell the reader what happened during your day, and how you *felt* about what happened. You know what I mean. I like layouts that say something about you. Your layout should mean something.

Diary Dislikes: Like I said, I don't mind if you use a "lol" a couple times, but PLEASE don't use internet slang all the time, and of course, just like everybody else says, pLeAsE dOnT tYpE lIkE tHiS. It's annoying, and it's hard to read. I also don't like it when people don't use relatively correct puncuation and capitalization. Periods come at the end of a sentence. Capitals come at the beginning of a sentence. And paragraphing...PLEASE paragraph. I hate it when people talk about their dog, the movie they saw the night before, the vacation they're going on the next year and then what's happening at school tomorrow, all in the same paragraph. And if your diary has racist, sexist, or anything prejudice in it, please don't ask me to review you. Also, "gay" is not an insult...

Andrea [diary url] [email]
Short bio: 16 year old high school student in New Jersey. Loves animals, writing, reading, and horseback riding. Honest to a fault with a hint of sarcasm and cynicism, though not openly offensive. A Christian who follows religion on her own.

Diary Likes: Extras, originality, emotion, easily navigated, being thanked *hint* *hint* etc.

Diary Dislikes: Short entries with no meaning, spelling mistakes and bad grammar, errors in the HTML, shortsightedness, Times New Roman in layout, blinding colors, etc.

Krista [diary url] [email]
Short Bio: I'm a 22 year old Canadian (for now) working gal. Aspiring photographer, writer and nurse. Who can't dream? Loves: people watching, run on sentences (which I do a lot), music, dland and last but certainly not least, my favorite redneck, "Bear". This is my first placement as a reviewer but do not let that fool you. I intend to be brutally honest with my opinions but in a constructive manner. I should warn you, I can be overly sarcastic.

Diary Likes: Colorful entries with description and detail. I want to drift away in words and emotions. Tasteful, interesting, thought provoking layouts are also a plus.

Diary Dislikes: Typical poor grammar usage as well as poor English. I am not fond of reading entries that are all in small caps or consist of da instead of the. Overly cluttered layouts that take away from the entries themselves are also not a favorite.
