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?

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'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.

Absolutely :p

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 :).

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

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 :).

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.

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

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
