We're all about giving you more customization!

A couple of months ago, we introduced Expand and Collapse capability onto sections of AOL.com. Now we are taking it a step further in the center column of the page. The new functionality allows you to add and remove content areas to the middle of the page.

It's super easy to customize. First, click on the new "Customize Your Page" button located on the right just below the sign in area.


Once you've clicked the button, an editable area will open up in the top of the middle column. See below:


Don't care to see Entertainment News? Uncheck the box, click on Save Changes and that content area will be removed from the page. If you change your mind later you can always click on the Customize button again to open the edit area and check the box.

Want to add the new widgets experience with eBay, Flickr, Stock Watch and more? Simply check the Widgets box and click Save Changes.

If you come to AOL.com one day and your content changes have been cleared, it could be because you cleared your browser cookies. Click here to learn more about how we store your preferences.

We hope you enjoy this new functionality! Do let us know what you think and what other capabilities you'd like to see added to AOL.com. :)

Do you love eBay? Are you a fan of browsing cool pics on Flickr? Do you want to check in periodically on select stocks and see how they are performing? Our new Favorite Widgets experience will let you do all of these things and more!

Starting off, we've got a cool new way for you to look for items on eBay and track them right from your homepage. For detailed info on what you can do with eBay on AOL, click here.



The next option, Sticky Note, is the perfect place for you to keep track of your grocery list, party planning reminders or even driving directions when you can't find a pen and paper. Try clicking on Options to change the color of your sticky note and to select your font of choice. Need the info on the go? No problem -- just click the "Print sticky" link in the bottom right corner. Want to erase the info in one fail swoop? Just click on "Clear sticky" to wipe the slate clean.



Do you love photos? If yes, you will be thrilled to hear that you can now browse Flickr photos right on your homepage. You can choose between Recent and Popular photos, and you can view images individually or in a grid. (The image below shows the grid option.) For more detailed info on what you can do with Flickr on AOL, click here.



Next up is the Stock Watch widget which is sure to please all of you finance gurus out there. Click on "Edit Watchlist" to add or remove additional stock symbols to your list. Not sure of a company's symbol? There's a handy "Symbol Lookup" link on the Edit Watchlist screen.



Finally, we have a Day & Time Calendar widget. This is a quick and easy way to check today's date and time whenever you like right on your page. You can also use the arrows to flip from month to month to check dates. The timestamp can also be used as a nifty timer!


We hope you get a lot of great use out of this widget collection. As always, we'd love to hear what you think about this new feature, and please let us know if there are similar widgets you'd like to see added.

Cheers!
