Have you heard about Windows Live Writer and how easy it makes blogging, but didn’t know how to get it or how to configure it to work with your space?

The Writer team has created a set of instructional videos which show you how to:

• Quickly set-up Windows Live Writer to publish to your space or a newly created space
• Begin authoring a blog entry with Windows Live Spaces
• Insert and format pictures, videos, maps, and other content directly into blog entries
• Publish a blog entry to your space with one click

Check out the Windows Live Writer space for more information and if you don’t have Windows Live Writer yet, download it here.

Congratulations to one of our sibling teams, Live QnA, on their recent launch of major updates on their site. 

Dennis has all of the details on the QnA team space and as you may know, you can add modules to your space for “Questions I’ve Asked” and “Questions I’ve Answered” on Live QnA.  Details on these modules are also in an earlier entry on the QnA team space. 

Congrats again to the QnA team.

We wanted to let you know that we had a small release to Spaces today.

The primary change in this release was that you can now include Messenger for the web as well as SkyDrive files in the Custom HTML module using embed codes.  

In addition, we also made some changes to the infrastructure of Spaces to make the service faster and more reliable.

We hope you enjoy the changes.   Keep giving us the feedback.  We are listening.
