Great guide, however if php-fpm are running through the socket name the php-block should be something like this:

location ~ \.php$
{
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

you can speedup (expire) the pictures ... with this settings

location ~* ^.+.(htm|html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$ {
access_log off;
expires max;
root /var/www/example.com/html/;
}

I also read about adding this... ?!?

if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
