There are lots of things you can do to personalize your AOL.com homepage. For instance, you can apply a special theme and add your favorite sites to My Links. In the past, we've saved settings like this on your computer in a browser cookie. This method works fine for most, but there is always the chance that this information can be cleared from your computer and wipe away any personalized settings.

To reduce the risk of this happening, all of your settings will now be tied to your AOL/AIM screen name when you sign in to the page. This means that your preferences will follow you to any computer you use to sign in. You'll get your page just the way you like it whether you are at work, home, on the go -- anywhere!

If you haven't yet customized anything on AOL.com, we recommend signing in first to ensure that everything is applied to your screen name. And if you have already customized parts of your homepage, we will save your preferences to your screen name the first time you sign in. After that, you will want to sign in before you make additional updates in order for them to be saved properly.

We hope you enjoy the security of having your settings tied to your screen name. Please let us know what you think!
