« MSN Messenger 7 Beta Now Available | Main | New MCE05 Powertoy and Vizs »

MSN is currently in beta testing with their new blogging service, MSN Spaces. If you've ever been afraid to blog, not sure where to start or looking to try something new, check it out.

Features include:

- Rich Web-based editing
- Send pictures directly from your Cameraphone (Moblogging)
- Music Playlists - post personal music lists and playlists you can import from WM Player 10 and let people rate your playlists.
- Book Lists - Recent books you're reading or have read and recommend
- Sample for free and download (not for free) music tracks/playlists from MSN Music
- Catgories
- Comments
- Stats
- Trackbacks
- RSS Syndication - noticably absent is an RSS tag but I suspect this will get fixed

I see a number of unique features here. The servers appear to be a little slow (no doubt due to the number of Slashdotters banging on it right now. I'm thinking about making my personal blog available on this site. You can check my test site out and a somewhat dated picture at http://spaces.msn.com/members/seanalex

There's no RSS icon anywhere, but there's a link to the feed on top of the page. "Syndicate this site".

Took me some moments to find it as well=)

Nice review of MSN Spaces.

Unfourtunately I didn't see the Rich Web-based editing. Maybe it's because of Firefox.
I can't even enter a simple Web Link. Any suggestions ?

Hi you seem pretty educated with these msn spaces things. My question to you is: Im trying to add music to my msn space so itll play when ppl view my space. Ive found codes online to copy and paste into my space, but I cant seem to get them to work! I tried pasting them in the log, as well as the custom list section but had no luck. Could you please help me??!!
