New Ice Cream Skate Shoe

After a few weeks of rumours, we've finally been given a preview of the new Ice Cream Skate Shoes. They are shoes that are cheaper and will be far more common than the existing "Boutique" Ice Creams, which will also be re-launched.

The new Skate Shoe will retail for around $90 and the Boutique's for $180.

Thanks to donjuan513 for the heads up!

Site Re-Worked

Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk has now been running for over 2 months and gained a lot of attention. I was contacted by MTV, the developers of the official BBC website and managed to make a few other contacts in that short space of time.

I was recieving more information that I thought I would, and it meant that the pages were getting longer, and more maintance was needed.

I really liked the old template I produced. A lot of time and effort went into designing, building and keeping it going, but it just became to much. I spent an entire day re-working the back-end of the site, while keeping a similar feel.

The left hand bar has been shrunk, and the middle section expanded to take up double the width. This means that I can accomodate larger images, more text and keep the pages nice and trim!

Over the next week or so, the For Sale panel will be reduced from 4 to 3 items again, as the amount of BBC/Ice Cream items goes down on ebay. The RSS feed can still be found on the index page and will stretch to accomodate upto 10 items.

The Real or Fake and Gallery pages will be updated too. I'll also be adding more content to the other pages more often.

Everything is built in PHP, with tableless layouts, and should meet all W3C requirements. I didn't have the time to check if it did, but I work to those standards. The site is cross-browser compatible and shouldn't pose any problems for users. I hope!
