Welcome To The "New Live Spaces" Classroom
While learning the whole process in the recent wave of releases from Microsoft Live Spaces, I have decided to release a new series of learning opportunities from the wonderful users of "Live Spaces". We are dedicating this series of both written and video tutorials to assist in helping those who are still having difficult adjusting to the new way we do things around the community now!
With that in mind, let's go ahead and dig into the material that will make your life around Windows Live Spaces more simplified.
The Dashboard and More
This is what you will see when you first log into your "Live Spaces" account! Let's refer to this as your "Dashboard" or "Control Center" of what is going on around your network of friend's and family.
You can click on the image to the left and see the full size version along with the text box that will give you more insight to what I am explaining on this.
You can drive to anywhere within spaces, e-mail, skydrive, photos and more. This will make your life on "Windows Live Spaces" easier and bring you greater level of satisfaction once you learn where to go to do your favorite things.
People, believe me when I say this is a major improvement from what we experienced in the previous version of "Live Spaces" . I know that has been some reluctance of people who were used to the previous version, however, let me say that I can seem some really awesome possibilities with the new movement Microsoft and the developers of Live Spaces have taken to improve how we share, what we share and the ease of control of both of them! It's all about innovation and the desire to place more control and flexibility into your hands.
Change The Look and Feel
Click on image on left for larger view! By clicking on options you can change the look and feel of your "Dashboard" by changing the theme of it. You can merely roll your mouse pointer over it and see what the new theme will look like when implemented.
You can click on more themes to have a greater availability of themes to choose from. You can use simple colors or dynamic themes that actually change with the time of day! Check them out for a greater level of explanation and details.
Bring you landing page to life with colors and layouts designed to appeal to you and some of your favorite things in life. The more you experiment with these things and see what can be done the more comfortable you will become. I have great confidence in everyone's ability to truly bring some exciting things into "Live Spaces".
Customize Your Dashboard
Click on image for larger view! From here you can choose how many e-mail headlines you see on your "Dashboard" as well as control the order things appear.
There have been a lot of questions being asked about uploading photo's to your profile page and how many of them. This is where you can control it all from.
As with anything you have done previously on "Live Spaces" you will want to make sure you save your changes in order for them to take affect. Go ahead and start experimenting today and see for yourself just how unique and flexible "Live Spaces" has become. There has never been such an exciting time as now! In the previous version of "Live Spaces" you were limited at best as to what you could see and how much of it. Now with the "New Release" you will be able to see for yourself why this was an overdue change.
I am excited about the new changes and am starting to see for myself the ease of use and navigation that Microsoft has implemented in their latest release of the ideal social networking community.
More Places To Visit

Access your mail, photos, spaces site, comments, profile all from one location. Easy to use and once you have become comfortable with it, you will see for yourself what I am writing about! Never at any point in time in the history of "Live Spaces" has their been so many new ways to make your life easy and accessible from a simple "Click" of your mouse.
