#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 6, 1999 -- Build Your Own Home Page; Get a New Job

October 6, 1999: Didn't we just use this home page builder promo? Yes, yes we did (okay, we changed the headline a teeny bit); the My News headline shows the rising London train crash death toll:
1999_10_06
For the PM update, we went with "Get a New Job," kind of an odd choice for a weekday evening lineup:

[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.]
