I picked windows live spaces back in July of 2007 as my blogging platform. For the most part, I don’t have any regrets and Microsoft certainly extends it over time (though I mainly find out about new features by accident).
My biggest complaint right now is blog spam. This person / account (http://cid-82b0534bceed9881.profile.live.com/) (among others) frequently adds a lot of spam comments to my blog in the form of comments. MSFT added a nice feature to show “recent comments” so at least I can fairly quickly identify them (whereas before, I had to go into each blog entry separately) and clean them up. It’s still time consuming.
I wish that:
- MSFT would put some better filtering for spam.
- That I could block specific people from adding comments.
- Failing the above, I could more easily identify and delete spam. Right now, I need to do it comment by comment and it’s slow, especially when some spam robot person/program adds 25 به 50 comments in one session.
If you’re a windows live user and have some useful tricks to share, I’d be grateful.

Likewise, I’ve moved over to wordpress and find it to be much easier to manage

This was one of the reasons I ended up moving my blog over to WordPress. I did find one little trick which at least seemed to make comment management faster at the time, but I know that Live Spaces has added some new management pages since. Heres a post about it:
