btw the trailer did not load well at all. I'm on a blazing connection and it took a good 45 seconds to start I almost left.
My suggestion would be to find some way to really emphasize the key points to the story. Don't rely on the traditional style of tour. I feel it really cheapens what appears to be a great amateur couple site. The network pass really cheapens it at the bottom. Why not have the tour on a wordpress layout and make it look like her blog.
Also why the chubbyblondy? Sounds like a fat american girl. Why not busty italian housewife or something like that. Not to mention most people don't spell blondy that way.
You really dig them and I think you have something good. If you re-package it I think you'll do really well.
Sorry got off topic.

Thanks for the feedback! I did not design that tour but paid for a designer to do so. I'm going to re-design it in my own 'style' after we see how this design does for a few weeks (besides, I'm busy as shit til then anyway). But I agree with you - gotta spell the story out better.
The preview vid is a maddening thing for me because I don't know how to get Flash vids to load faster! I decrease file size, i lose quality, etc etc. (Any suggestions?)
Showing the network at the bottom 'adds value', in my experience, and many people join when they see they get 30+ websites along with their Membership. But I'm going to start A/B testing in a week or so, for many things, and testing whether sites do better as a part of the MRPW network or as 'stand-alone' sites is high on my list of things to Test. Maybe a better way to display the network?
Oh - and 'chubbyblondy' was their domain and their idea. LOL I would never, ever choose a name like that. But now we're kinda stuck with it, at the moment. Maybe the 'blondy' spelling will make it stand out more, who knows.
But I sincerely appreciate the time you took to check out the site, and for your observations!
