20 Years Ago on AOL.com: July 20, 1999 -- Kennedy Tragedy

July 20, 1999: For the fourth day, we went with the Kennedy tragedy. There wasn't much to do except change the photos and tweak the colors. I also took a full-page screenshot, presumably to capture the link in the corporate links footer about the AOL fourth quarter earnings call:
1999_07_20a
For the PM update, there was no real update. However, we can see that we relaunched the text link version of the top nav bar:
1999_07_20b
[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.]
