20 Years Ago on AOL.com: July 26, 1998 -- Any Given Sunday

[In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary.]

July 26, 1998: A pretty generic lineup that could have been from any day, let alone any Sunday. I had a loose rotation of AOL products, content, and Web Centers to feature.

One of the text promos was always a Shopping promo; there'd be at least one Web Centers promo (in this case, Careers & Work in the graphic spot and I think "Plan a Night In" was a Local feature); and then a product like My News, AOL Netfind, or NetMail.

The graphic is kind of neat; I don't remember who created it. Maybe one of the AOL.com designers on the West Coast?
