Hey all,

As you may have read on Windows Live Wire, there is a new public beta of the Windows Live client suite available today. 

Folks on our team have been using the Beta for a few weeks now, and I wanted to highlight two features that I think are especially relevant to people using Windows Live Spaces:

• Windows Live Writer added awesome support for inserting video.  You can read more in Writer Zone
• Windows Live Messenger has integrated What's New functionality like you see on the signed-in Spaces home.  You can read more in Messenger Says

Thanks for using Windows Live and please leave us comments if you have feedback on the public beta.  Thanks--

In October of last year, we partnered with HP to add a feature to Windows Live Spaces which allowed you to print your blog entries in a neatly formatted manner.

We were notified recently by HP that they are shutting down their blog printing service and ending their partnership with Spaces. As a result, on Monday September 15^th, the blog printing feature on Spaces won't be available anymore.

While it's not as pretty as the original blog printing service, you can get a good printout of your blog from the RSS feed.

To print your blog entries, add "feed.rss" to the end of your blog's web address. Here's an example:
http://thespacecraft.spaces.live.com/blog/feed.rss

To print your blog entries by category, add "feed.rss" to the web address for the category, like this:
http://thespacecraft.spaces.live.com/category/Employment/feed.rss

We hope this tip helps, and we're sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.
