What can I do better? How are page load times at you guys’ end?
Re: Critique my blog: Boy’s for Breakfast
Loads OK, I like the design, but paragraphs to break the text please?
Re: Critique my blog: Boy’s for Breakfast
I really like the design, but I would agree with asiaboy on the walls of text. They need to be broken down a little. Plenty of people have a psychological block when they see a mass of words like that and they just won’t read it.
You know I’m gonna say you should write your own text anyway, right? 
Copy/paste isn’t good. And as you’ve gone with the honest approach in your intro and tell people what the deal is, I think you’d do better by actually giving guys something to read. The reason I say that is because the content is already out there on plenty of other blogs, you’re asking guys to follow you and come back/click through, but you don’t give them anything they can’t get anywhere else. When you look at some of the most successful porn blogs (a great example is bananablog) they don’t even add a whole lot of text, but they add their own words and offer discussion, and it keeps guys coming back and commenting.
Something I’ve considered doing recently is adding two text areas, one very brief one stating my thoughts on a shoot and why I love it, with maybe a single paragraph, then a complete description. I think that might allow guys to read “my thoughts” without feeling overwhelmed by too many words. Lets face it, a lot of people might read every day, but when they’re horny and looking at porn a short story is only for the specifically interested
I think there are too many ads in the side too. I’d get rid of the tranny and fisting there, because they don’t seem to fit the niche. I would have to do something about the Suite 703 banner being stretched like that and I’d put a space between each ad so they are more easily defined as being separate.
I’d also have content divided into categories available from the side too. You’ve added the posts to studio/site categorization, so I think it would benefit to have those in a side menu.
I hope that’s not too much? I’m only saying what I would do, and I haven’t even gotten around to all of it on my own blogs yet after a recent hack attack.

I really can’t fault it except the already mentioned issue with the banner. There is also a issue with titles on the right side column, which seem to get cut off halfway (vertically), I’m guessing that’s down having incorrect height set in CSS.
As far as design goes I think the blog looks very good! Very well done!
Re: Critique my blog: Boy’s for Breakfast
I feel kind of odd giving advice since your blog has been around a lot longer than mine, I think, but you did ask for feedback…
Anyway, I too think the site looks good and it loads fine for me, but I also want to second conran’s comment about the excessive text. While it seems like some blogs are doing okay with using the sponsor’s text, I think we’ve all learned from the Panda update that it’s much better for SEO to have some original content. So if you can, I’d write your own text, even if it’s brief or doing something like conran is thinking of doing. In any event, even if you use the sponsor’s text, I’d stop with using something as massive as the text from, say, Active Duty. Some sponsors – Hard Brit Lads comes to mind – offer both brief descriptions (maybe 75 words) and longer ones like Active Duty’s, so if that’s available you could copy that. But in the long run I think the original text would be the single best step to take.
Also, I’m not sure what this is about, but I keep seeing codes instead of images or video on various posts. Here are a couple of examples:
[stream provider=video flv=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-video.mp4 img=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-photo.jpg mp4=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-video.mp4 embed=false share=true width=700 height=420 dock=true controlbar=bottom bandwidth=high title=Kenny Coors Collegedudes volume=100 autostart=false /]
[stream provider=video flv=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-video.mp4 img=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-photo.jpg mp4=x:/www.boysforbreakfast.com/flv/kenny-coors-collegedudes-video.mp4 embed=false share=true width=700 height=420 dock=true controlbar=bottom bandwidth=high title=Kenny Coors Collegedudes volume=100 autostart=false /]
I viewed the site in the latest versiions of both IE and Firefox, and still saw just the code. I know it could just be a program I’m missing on my pc, but still I thought it’s worth mentioning, because if it happens to me, it’s happening with others. It appears that what you’re trying to use are embedded videos, which I did a lot of in the past, but after seeing some threads here about those, I’ve pretty much stopped using them.
Re: Critique my blog: Boy’s for Breakfast
Thanks for all your input guys!
The videos and other elements are currently not have been working the past 12 hours due to a server migration. The datacenter switching people forgot to configure the route to my BFB blog’s dedicated IP correctly, it is still routing to the old server which can’t make any cURL calls. That’s being fixed as we speak.
When it’s running correctly it loads very fast for me, but then again I also get a 20 ms round trip ping time to the server and I have a 20 mbit connection… so instead of rely on page load tests on remote servers (which are sometimes not 100%)… I ask my friends in different locations and countries to tell me if my load time is acceptable to humans.
I appreciate it!
