AlexSuze.com

Sometimes I just expand on a previous review, as I did recently on "Tell your Sex Story".  This week end as I was working on other posts such as Boys’ Club, AlexSuze.com added a comment to their review which I had done early in August.  Just look at those eyes!

At the time I had observed that "I would like to know what software their friend is using" to devellop their blog.  Well the answer came in the comment.  It is custom.  We should all be this lucky! 

The centre part represent the chosen area from the upper section of the sidebar menu.  It does this in a clever way, keeping the sidebar visible.  As a frame would, let’s say.  Where as the sidebar bottom portion, which is used for recommended sites or blogroll type links, open up in a new browser window.  The very bottom of the sidebar has the listing of Blog engines.

The right hand side is only used in the real blog area and it offers links to contributors, recent posts and supported Icons such as blogspot.  Blogger in fact appears to host the current blog entries where as the balance of the site appears to be on their server.  An interesting piece of engeneering.  Hence the credit to Blogger.  As I was putting together this review, I noted that they just added ads by Clicksor which brought me to very commercial graphic porn sites.  I clicked on them obviously, hope it generates some revenue!  I don’t see any other reason for this.  Everybody’s doing something like this, maybe I should too!  :-) 

Enough of the techie side of things, lets go to content:

Perhaps we need an explicit warning here like………

The About Us section, gives a Mission statement:  you’ll be reading an entertaining diary of our lives in general.  As I went through a few of the stories, I can attest that this goal is achieved. 

The Blog area is very well written.  The stories/diary are tasty, written to keep your attention.  They offer very few images, which is fine since there is a gallery section for those of you looking for naughty bits.   I read a few of the entries and found them to be quite entertaining.  This stuff comes out of real stories rather than creative writing.  There’s more of a feel to the written word!  The blog area is hosted by Blogger and so are the comments.  A nice piece of engineering!

Next on the Menu Sidebar comes Reviews.  This is an area which will obviously grow and get updated.  Presently it hosts a couple of DVD and website reviews.

Going down the Sidebar, next we have Stories.  Here we find what the authors call polished versions of diary entries.  Perhaps the picks of the litter?  It’s done as an html clikable listing and is hosted right on the website as opposed to Blogger.  I found that the Yellow clickable links were hard to see on my screen,  and even though feedback was requested on the listing page, there was no comments area or link to do so.  There was an email addy to click at the bottom of each story for comments.  My choice for such an area may have been another Blogger, Mambo, Wordpress or even Movable type.  Mind you I don’t know if these could be contained in a frame.

The next four entries on the sidebar cover Suzanne’s area, Alex’s area, Galleries, Porn Models and Porn Alike Models.  All of these area are graphics.  Starting with Suzanne’s area which shows off Alec’s achievements, Alec’s area which certainly has more material to cum.  Presently his area’s pics (naughty parts), have been moved to the gallery.  The gallery itself is devoted to both Suzanne and Alec’s pics.  All pics are of themselves, respectively but never about face.  Suzanne’s shots in the gallery are of herself and so are Alec’s.  Where as Suzanne’s gallery has a couple of interactive shots with Alec, the balance are all Solo.  The shots are well done but I have this feeling that their photography will take a direction in the future.  On many blogs, you never catch a glimpse of the author(s).  Here we do, which I think is a good thing.

The next menu option on the sidebar is Porn Models.  This was an education for me so I enjoyed it.  I’m not a porn fan myself so I paid attention to the information.  OMG Aria Giovanni, a face I know from newsgroups!  Pretty Lady.  I clicked on a few, surfing into a new window where more was found about each "Model".  The next entry, Porn Alike,  was amusing  finding models that look like other celebrities. 

The Diary Archives are most likely saved entries from the Original Blog.  I intend to go back and read a few.  Presented in a monthly fashion, this was easy and pleasant to navigate.

I enjoyed navigating through AlexSuze.com, There’s a lot of content here in a nice package.  Lot’s of potential for the future especially with the promise of a message board for interaction and user input.  I always warn with caution about message boards, it hosts it’s own culture and doesn’t always achieve the expected results when mixed in with blogs.  However I don’t discourage it.  It can bring about new sources of material from creative writers or real story tellers.  It can also cultivate regular readers to post and devellop a community which is the the ultimate goal in this environment.

AlexSuze.com is a growing site to keep an eye on.  A nice contribution to the Adult Blogosphere.  This visit I did not get the feel of a commercial venture, perhaps due to the ongoing changes; rather a personal adventure and as Alex pointed out recently on a comment from a brief review…

"We are not a commercial site, we do it for the fun of it. In fact we can’t imagine not telling people about our sex lives now. It’s better than therapy."

I couldn’t agree more!  …and please keep telling, we enjoy reading.
