Was already about to comment on this one, when i saw a note requesting a critique and it was your template, so here we go again e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Aww" />
I totally love the colors, even if they are very bright and kind of flashy, they give you this happy cheerful feeling, that smells like summer/spring and just make you feel good by looking at it. It's good to see some bright journal layouts every now and then!
The thing that is most appealing to me is that sidebar with the circles. That's a nice highlight, even if unused, that could give the eyes some place to rest in case the journal will be full of thumbs and text.
As for the suggestions where to improve:
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> You have used black for the mood, which seems to be a bit harsh, as there is no black anywhere else in that journal. Maybe use a dark grey shade, or even the same grey as you have used for the journal date/time and the bottom links.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> That white font(just talking of the actual content) totally fits to the layout itself, but i'm afraid it is a bit too much for the eye if there is a lot of text to read. Not really sure what could fit better, but maybe some light blue could make it.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> A little more spacing at the bottom of the mood might balance it a bit more. Looks a bit squeezed with that extra border below, compared to the top of it.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Green" /> You should rethink the green as a link color for the menu. It's too light to really match their. Either go for a darker green shade (like you have in that feature preview), make it a bit bigger or try a different color. That way it's difficult to read .
Oh and there is a little glitch at the right side of the menu bar. I guess that's not intented.
That's it from me and like last time i love those preview images with the gradient, looks nice e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart" />
And no layout is useless, in fact it keeps others and yourself inspired and maybe you will find someone who will code it for you (i'm too busy for that atm) e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" title="Hug" />

I can't think of much else to say other than how simply beautiful this is. :3
(though I'm a bit biased because it has my two favourite colours in it) ;b
But hey, it totally reminds me of spring. <3
Thank you so much for sharing! C:
