I saw this earlier and it really is fantastic! I've just edited it all and made it very personalied! Now all that needs added is more dynamic themes, more static themes and the ability to change the colour of the default Windows Live blue theme.

I'd love to get all my Facebook contacts on here, however, a lot of them aren't close friends who I'd probably speak to on Windows Live so it would seem odd adding them...

*Sigh* It don't even give me the option to change my city to get weather...

I can't type in the name, nor click search.

This is by-browser locked. It wasn't working in Safari nor in FX 3.1B, I changed the Safari UserAgent to IE7 or 6 and it wasn't working, but then, FX 2 Win actually worked.... wrf?

Looks very good so far.

I haven't got any of the problems you are referring to. I am able to search for my locations (Sheffield) and change it to this when clicking on "Customise" on the new Windows Live Home :)

It is working for me in Firefox 3.0.4 on Windows Vista, however, I haven't been able to try it in Firefox 3.1b.

I have tried it in Safari and it works perfectly.

It works in Opera; however, some of the UI elements are a bit messed up (as is one link positioning on my personal website in Opera only, hmm maybe their rendering engine isn't very good after all...?).

It also has twitter support :)

It's beautiful isn't it :p?

It's beautiful isn't it :p?

Yep gotta agree with you.

windows live home is amazing...

[Calum Veteran]

It's beautiful isn't it :p?

Absolutely :p

It still needs more static themes, more dynamic themes and an option to change the colour of the default blue flair theme, though.

I also have some other gripes. For example, I cannot seem to find out how to change the name of the default "Home page photos" album? :s I am one who likes consistency and would like to rename it with either capitals on all the first letters of the words in the name or to something like "Windows Live Home Photos".

Does anybody know if this is possible?

Also, Windows Live People needs updating badly to incorporate the ability to view contact's profiles and also see their email address next to their name without clicking on them.

Looks nice :)

Looks nice :)

My Spaces still doesn't work for me. I get "Page Not Found" error.

There's no way of changing it unfortunately. I agree that there needs to me more themes, I think those will come once everything is smooth and the kinks are worked out. The team started with enough to get by, but there are more comming :).

That's because the entire Windows Live network is getting slammed right now :p. I can't even add RSS feeds to my WLSpace or save changes at the moment because the service is to busy. Wait it out my friend :).

looks different, and different is better (Y) I like it

Great Info.

Windows Live Home Page is Absolutely Amazing. :)

PZDR

[Sean B. Veteran]

What I find weird is that LiveSide is listed under the technology headlines that you can add to your Windows Live Home Page, but Neowin isn't :s.

[matthewmarley]

Can you only add one custom RSS feed ?

I have added the livewire feed and now i don't have a option to add any more.

Also is there anyway to remove the MSN news from the home page.

[xpgeek]

I'm having a weird problem.

If I go to Home.Live in IE7, signed in, the page trys to auto install Windows Live Messenger or something, already installed too (WLM 9 beta), and totally locks up the browser until I click cancel on the install thing.

The install thing says it can't continue until I close any running instance of Home.Live too, but I can't close IE until I cancel and close the installer thing.

So uh, not working for me.

- When will the (RC) apps (Windows Live Essentials) be released?

The answer to that is they will be released next week at http://download.live.com/

Can't wait! :D

[matthewmarley]

Something that is also bugging me is why have spaces when you already have a profile page ?

The spaces section doesn't look any different to what it was.

If anyone wants to add me i am marleyatlive.com i need some more friends on mine that actually use it :D
