...but by mid-morning, we'd switched back to commerce with a fashion and apparel Shopping promo. (At least, I think so, according to this post-dated image from the preview server a few days later.

[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.]
