August 24, 1998: The lead graphic promo spot is for the Entertainment Web Center's fall TV preview, with a pic of
Will & Grace, which started its debut season in 1998.
Naturally, 20 years later, they couldn't leave well enough alone, and rebooted it.
One other thing I overlooked: Also in the August refresh, we renamed the fifth column, which used to be "Essentials," to "Free Products." Because everyone likes free stuff, and we were trying to increase clickthrough.
[
Series note: 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 under the tag
#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
