Searching for links to the Web sites you visit regularly can take a lot of your time. So, we've taken a fresh look at the Directory and navigation in general, to provide you more options and control over the sites that appear on your home page.

My Links
"My Links" lets you add links to sites you visit most, so you can access the things you care about in one place; the AOL.com home page. And, it's easy to customize "My Links". Just click on "Add Link" and then enter the Web site address (URL) and the label that you'd like to appear on your home page. This can be ANY site on the Web and you can update as often as you like.



We put in a few entries to get you started, but you can delete them and/or add your own. To edit or delete an item, just rollover the link and click on the pen icon to the right of any entry.





Additionally, you can drag and drop items in "My Links" to put them in the order that you want them to appear. Just rollover the item you want to move, click on the icon with four horizontal lines and hold down the mouse as you move that link to where you want it in your "My Links" line-up.



Directory
We've also added more links to the Directory to give you access to more of the AOL content and features you like without having to look for them. We're sure you're going to find some interesting sites that you may not have known were out there. And if you're not sure what the something is you can mouse-over any of the links to get a quick description of what that site's about. So take some time and explore. And like "My Links", you can also reorder the Directory line up by rolling over a link and clicking and holding the icon with four horizontal lines to put things in the order that you want them.




How We Store Your My Links Choices
When you make changes to your page, like adding Web sites to My Links, we store those choices in a secure "cookie" on the computer that you are using. A cookie is, basically, a file that stores information you enter on a Web page, to save you time later. We use cookies on the AOL.com home page so that you don't have to Sign In or be required to have an AOL screen name to use and save your personalization options. However, deleting your browser cookies or private data will wipe out any changes you've made to your home page. Click here to learn how to protect your personalization choices.
