We've added an exciting new feature that will allow you to tailor your home page more to your preferences. This feature is one that we've received requests for in our feedback, and it's just one of the many ways we are striving to make AOL.com the ideal home page experience.
The new functionality allows you to collapse or expand select sections of the page. If you see a downward-facing arrow to the left of the title of a content area, then this means you can click it to either hide or show the content inside.
Below is an image showing an expanded content area -- Sports News.
You'll see a downward-facing arrow next to the title:
Let's say that you aren't currently interested in Sports News and want to minimize it on your page.
One click to the arrow will allow you to hide the Sports News content, which will look like this: 
To see the Sports News content again, click the arrow pointing right to expand the section. Give it a try!
AOL.com will remember the expand or collapse state that you leave each module in for each visit so that it will be the same each time you come to the page. If you happen to reset your cookies at some point, these settings will be lost and you will need to tweak your page again. Click here for more info on how we store your settings.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our latest feature. We truly value your feedback, so please keep it coming!

I like the idea. Now if you can help me get rid of the annoying "Google" search popup everytime I start AOL regular, I'll be really happy.
