Hotness UNHOT
Welcome to the newly redesigned BensBargains.net We've been hard at work here redesigning BensBargains.net for the 21.08th century, and here it is. You'll notice several things immediately, which we'll go over below so that your bargain-shriveled walnut of a brain can more easily comprehend:

Page Width Increased
We kept the layout from BensBargains 2.0 when we went to 3.0 in July of 2006, however that was a layout that was originally designed way back in 2000, when 800x600 was still a widely used resolution. Now we can safely cast all of those users aside (the few that remain, at least) for a page width that is more amenable to today's hard hitting monitors and resolutions. You'll notice that most of the font sizes have increased as well, for the same aforementioned reasons.

Larger Images
We know you've been squinting at the tiny product thumbnails, and now you can put that magnifying glass away because we've increased the size of our product thumbnails by about fourfold. We figure that most of you have made the jump to some sort of broadband since the ole days o' 56k when this site was first envisioned. Our sympathies to those who have not yet upgraded, well, not really.

Navigation & Left Bars
We've added a dropdown menu for our most commonly accessed areas, saving you an oh so precious click when navigating around aimlessly. You'll also notice that the Left Bar features some of the recently expanded offerings of BensBargains, including our proprietary Tracker technology for locating the latest hot products, as well as Ben's Coupons - a coupon section that lets you see what coupons we've come across in our daily plunders.

We hope you like the changes! We're working tirelessly to make your bargain shopping experience that much better. If you happen to come across a bug, feel free to file a Bug Report and we'll be right on it!

    * THE ONE IMPROVEMENT *

    that I'd like to see at Bens Bargain's is the introduction of:

    BEN'S BUCKS. kinda like F@T C@SH, only 'benner'.

    Ben - if you start splitting your commission, I will buy exclusively through your site.

    nice job on the site...

    Great job, Ben! I didn't see a Category on the right for "D1ldos". That's the whole reason why australapithecus and NorthSouth come here.
