But that is about to change, Teching It Easy with the help of NeoSmart Forums is partnering to bring users an avenue for receiving help and support for the new Windows Vista operating system. So, if you have a problem or want help with a feature in the OS, this is a great place to come.

New Live Spaces Update – with welcome improvements

Sorry about not blogging for a while, but I was busy with work and started preparing for courses to get my CCNA. But I am now back in the fold, with new content ready for blogging. So Live Spaces has been updated with features that are more visitor friendly. I think the best feature so far is the Category based RSS feeds which allows you to basically subscribe to a category on my space. I post a lot of content to my Vista Tips & Tricks and Windows Vista categories, users will probably find this feature a nice improvement.

Added are also improvements to Photo Tools with Vista style slide navigation and the ability to add comments. Another long awaited improvement is a GuestBook feature which I had created ages ago, but will be replacing with the new built in one, I wish there was a way to migrate existing guest comments to the Live Spaces Guest Book link. Live Spaces now includes the ability to e-mail to the owner of a Live Space delivering directly to the persons inbox, really cool. 🙂

Overall, great improvements, I hope future updates provides the ability to customize more and go beyond the built themes so users can add their unique style to their space.
