I'm getting closer to employment, so that's good eh? I have a couple of things I'm hoping to close into by the end of the month.

Some other odds and ends:

I've been reading a diary critic site for a while now, it's a good place to have a look at other diaries and read. The site is The Real Diary Critic. Although I disagree with their rules of critique, they update regularly and the diaries they review are (in my opinion) all good diaries. The only thing I don't like is some of the things they pick on. Color schemes, ...use of ellipse..., inline scrolling text. Probably because I'm sure my diary wouldn't rank high, but in part because I think no matter how you get your point across, as long as it comes across, and it's true to you, you should be proud of the work you put into it.

After all, these are personal diaries, so individuality should be encouraged.

All in all if I were to be reviewed (and I have), I'd be reviewed at Diary Reviews. It's a much more positive experience, even the negativity is positive, more constructive critique.

So now that I've critiqued some critiquers, my point would be, if you must take your site to a critic, keep in mind that no matter what, you're the only critic that matters.
