About this trail:
Remember when AOL was the hottest, most hip website on the Internet? Me either. That's what makes it interesting to look back at the many faces of AOL.com's homepage.
Here we start with the first available save thanks to The Way Back Machine.

It appears AOL supports free speech on the Internet. That's cool.
Next: What do they support in 1998?

Well, in 1998 it appears AOL support hassle-free & convenient shopping--online!!! Remember when we had to do all of that Internet shopping offline?

In 1999 AOL.com prepared for Y2K by looking like this. My favorite feature: Save Surfin'. Basically, AOL shows parents and kids what Safe Surfin' is all about.
4
In 2001, AOL made it a point to display that they were available Anywhere. Unlike those Yahoo scum.
5
I just want to point out that in 2002, AOL thought it was important to have a pop-up.
6
Not much to say, but this is what AOL.com looked like in 2003.
7
In all fairness, I am sure AOL.com didn't actually look like this in 2004. But if it did, I wouldn't complain. A very outside of the box type of design.
8
In 2005, AOL broke my heart by requiring cookies to browse AOL.com. So, this is what you get AOL.com 2005.
9
Man, it seems that 2006 was just a month ago. I guess that explains why this pretty much looks like it does now.
Who knows where AOL will go with their design. Perhaps some day... actually, I think they have passed their prime.
So, that's that.
