Welcome to the New People Connection
Hey everyone!
Welcome to the new People Connection site! Don't see what you're looking for? A bit confused by the new look? We're here to shed some light on the subject. People Connection brings everything together. Boards, featured blogs, chats, hot topics and fun products are highlighted to help you express, connect and share.
The message boards tab at the top of the page guides you to your favorite message boards -- old and new. Just 
choose a topic and run with it!
Blogs are easy to find, browse through and create. We keep you updated with the most commented on and most recently updated blogs, so it's easy to discover people and points of view.
We love all of the pictures you've sent us through the years, and our photo galleries showcase your photography skills and once-in- a-lifetime experiences. So, check it out!
Last but not least -- the Member Directory. Search for friends and family, or meet a whole new group of friends. Fill in the blanks, and you're good to go.
We hope you enjoy the new and improved People Connection!
If you have any comments or questions, or if you'd like more details about any of the new features, leave a comment below.

5. Sandra,
Sorry to hear that you didn't like it. We're able to now pack in even more information into the People Connection area with relevant topics you like. (Like celebrity gossip, popular blogs and more!)
Thanks for sharing your feedback!

6. Jim and evanboro,
You can access AOL Chat any time by going to AOL Keyword: FINDACHAT. Also, you may find the link to Web chat rooms under the "Connect" section. It leads you to http://www.userplane.com/chatlite/directory/
Thanks for your feedback. I'll see what we can do to make it more prominent! Glad to hear you love our Chat, too! :-)

7. "Blogs are easy to find." No they are not.
This new look is worse than/// confusing.
I got to my blog by luck the first time I was
confronted with this puzzle.
The second time I finally gave up and went outside of
AOL to get in.

8. Brian,
To check out other blogs or manage your own, just click on "BLOGS" on the top section. Optionally, you can add http://peopleconnection.aol.com/blogs to your favorites or bookmarks, too.
Blogs created by you (AOL Journals) will be in the center section. Other blogs will be linked to in the lower sections.
Thanks for your feedback, we'll try to keep improving it. :-)

17. Do the Town Square chatrooms still exist? How do you access them? I have attempted to look under chat/chats/connections/etc. with no luck. Thanks for any info about how to access the chatrooms--if they still exist. Keith

19. Nice update. Thank you for the share section. I once spent an hour searching for bluestring and I found it once I remembered it was not called beta-bluestreak. Good to have a list.
I like what you've done with the photos section. Glad you kept the Blogs Whitelist although I don't see a link on the blogs section. I don't recall it linked up before the recent update but it's an informative list.
Will the editors blog (missing an s in heading) list be updated? I know some of those blogs/journals are never going to be updated again. I'm subscribed to some and it would save me some time if you'd publish a more current list.
There are some CSS issues with centering on the footer. I'm viewing with Firefox on XP. Some of the unordered lists on the "On Our Radar" have odd spacing. Seems to be just with the feeds displayed as unordered list.
I like the reflection image on the our radar section too. Still browsing. Lots to discover and get reacquainted with.
