Update to My.Live.com
Jason A. GarzaMSFTThursday, August 07, 2008 9:59 PMExciting news today as we’re pleased to announce the release an important update to the My.Live.com personalized pages! The biggest change that everyone will notice is the new header, along with some slight usability changes, other improvements based on user feedback, support for both IE 8.0 and FireFox 3.0, and corrections to a handful of bugs. Overall, we took time out of our upcoming project to address a total of 74 changes and bug fixes.
Header Change
The new header provides a cleaner, more streamlined look to the page, along with links to Hotmail, Spaces, OneCare, and other MSN services, all from you’re My.Live.com homepage.
Usability Improvements
Based on usability studies and feedback from you, we’ve added a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental deletions of gadgets and feeds, renamed “Add stuff” to “Add content” and increased the visibility of the link, changed “Edit” to “customize” in the gadget chrome and added more space between the Customize link and the delete gadget “X” icon.
IE 8.0 and FireFox 3.0 Support
My.Live.com now supports the Beta for IE 8.0 and the final version of FF 3.0. Users will be able to access their pages and feeds using these browsers.
Add Content Directory Updates
Check out the Add Content directory for new feeds and gadgets. The updates are part of our on-going effort to ensure quality content, provide better organization, eliminate dead feeds and redundancies.
New items include the full line-up of content from Xbox.com, selections from Office Online, MSN Video, WeatherBug, and more!
Minor Bugs and Glitches
As part of our switch to My.Live.com, embarrassingly, we forgot to change some of the wording on the site to reflect our new name! That’s been fixed, along with some minor quarks and hiccups that have been reported.
Suggestions & Feedback Forum
Because you asked for it, we’ve created a My.Live.com Suggestions & Feedback forum on Microsoft.com Forums. This forum will provide users with a way to interact with our development team by telling us what you think, asking questions, and providing your suggestions for what you think will make My.Live.com better. Access the forum at http://forums.community.microsoft.com/en/MyLiveCom/threads/.
What’s Next?
We’ll start planning for our next update to My.Live.com, aiming for a minor update in the Fall. Right now, most of our time is being devoted to another project that we’ll have more information about in the coming months. Until then, we hope you like the changes, and look forward to reading your feedback.

Bing and issues with adding Feeds and Gadgets...
Jason A. GarzaMSFTTuesday, June 02, 2009 10:53 PMHi all, we hope you're enjoying Bing as much as we are! If you haven't checked it out, we encourage you to try it by going to www.bing.com.
We've noticed that since Bing was released on Sunday evening, adding Feeds and Gadgets from some locations ends up redirecting to Bing instead of adding the item to your My.live.com page. We're working with the Bing Team to resolve this, and expect a resolution to be in place next week.
In the interim, if you try to add a feed or gadget and are being redirected to Bing.com, please follow these steps to correct:
1. After redirect, the URL on the address bar will appear as "http://www.bing.com/?add=" followed by the URL of the feed or gadget
2. Edit the URL in the address bar by replacing www.bing.com with "my.live.com", the new URL will read as "http://my.live.com/?add=" followed by the feed/gadget URL.
3. Click enter
4. The feed/gadget will now be added to your My.live.com page as normal.
Alternatively, you can add the feed/gadget URL directly by going to My.live.com and clicking on "Add Content". In "Advanced Option", enter the URL into the Add a gadget by URL field and click "Subscribe."
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while this issue is resolved.
