[01] Telling it Like it Is
One with a neat layout and this girl [sole reviewer] writes and writes about the content. Great buttons to choose from too.
[02] Blunt Views
This is a different kind of site as emphasis [100 points] is placed on blunt-ness. They are insightful and really know how to get across their opinion in an easy-to-take way. Buttons need to be uploaded to own server. Still waiting for my review.
[03] Compendious
By now, everyone's heard of this particular review site and for good reason. I love the layout and for the most part, reviews are in depth and well written.
[04] That Boy is Toast Reviews
Though slow on updates, they have a knack for reviewing, giving loads of commentary about every aspect of the diary and in the end are fun questions that reviewer answers about the diarist. Can't wait for my review.
[05] Hey Jude! Reviews
I love the layout -- the font, colors and image are well put together. And the theme of the review site is uber-cool. Nice buttons too. Cool buttons to choose from. Recommended Reviewers? All are worthy, but I prefer Dri or Judith. Still waiting for my review.
[06] Bubba & Gerdy's Outhouse Reviews
The reviewers are busy but know how to do a good job. They write a lot and even though it's a certain type of speaking, you can read it in plain English too. Still waiting for my joint-review.
[07] Rouge Reviews
Here's a site with a beautiful layout. The detailed, thorough reviews are imbue with truth, beauty, freedom [to say what we please but in a positive, encouraging light], and above all love. New reviews daily. Also has a great selection of link-back buttons and always adding more.
[08] Lavish Review
She gives her uncensored opinion and validates. Plus does a great job on updating.
[09] Pasta Reviews
Nice little review site with great constructive criticism. A few buttons too. Still waiting for my review.
[10] Sweet Reviews
Yea, they're sweet. I review there, but am by request only. Great buttons you can put up.
Haven't received a review from each of these sites yet? Go. Request. Now.

[01] Sticky Vicki
She totally customizes to what you want and they [buttons, blinkies, banners, etc] are beautiful.
[02] Zig-N-Zag
Kind of hard to read everything at first, but easy once you've got it. This person does it all.
[03] Catelin
She's made some great looking buttons and is easy to work with.
[04] Princess Aimee
Impersonal blinkies but lots of choices.
[05] Blinkie City
Many, many decisions [styles, size, specific colors, etc] to make!
[06] Diary-Rating
You need to know exactly what words and colors you want for this.
[07] Buttons Unlimited
New one I found. Looks good.

Actually, there's only one. The other two I know of have gone bye-bye and referred others to this wonderful place

[01] Ourworld
Holds 20 MB. 20! 10 blinkies/buttons don't even make 0.1 MB! Very reliable.
[02] Village Photos
Pretty good. You can only have 25 photos which is nice when you have big images.
