[Spaces] Decouple the blog from WL Spaces
WL Spaces is required to host a blog. If photos, favorites, and other lists are not inherently part of WL Spaces anymore, then why is your blog?
The blog component should be decoupled from WL Spaces and reorganized under WL Profile and/or SkyDrive, the same way that Photos has be reorganized. Multiple blog support should be added. A link should also be added to the left side of my Profile page that points directly to my WL Blogs. That way, if I want to maintain a WL Blog (or multiple blogs) without a WL Space, I can do so. It also makes my blog a little more visible from my WL Profile. WL Spaces should still provide a blog module so that I can display my blog on my WL Spaces homepage. That would increase the appeal of WL blogging to a lot of people who like WL, but dislike WL Spaces.

Spaces isn't just your blog, TG. Maybe that was true at one time, but not anymore. It's now just another personal page where you can drop a bunch of stuff, and it happens to be where your blog lives. Photos used to be a part of your space as well, but now there's a more appropriate place for them (SkyDrive). Why is the same not true for your blog? If you really wanted to see the blog on your space, well then just add a module to display it.
BTW, I can remove the blog module from my space right now and still host tons of other things on that page. But if you're going to have a Blog on WL it has to be a part of your space. What I'm suggesting is that they allow us to have a blog without requiring us to host and maintain a WL Spaces page. You just don't understand how Spaces is supposed to fit into the new WL paradigm, TG.
Changed title from [Decouple the blog from WL Spaces] to [[Spaces] Decouple the blog from WL Spaces].
And what would then be left of Spaces Greg? Nothing! Already its been robbed of Photo's and Profile, so what would be left? And I suppose you as the current Live expert know exactly how Spaces is supposed to fit in.
Boo hoo. Other stuff, including Photos, has simply been recategorized where it makes more sense, and you can pull photos right back into spaces using a module if you so desire. The same thing needs to happen with the blog. There's no compelling reason to keep it so tightly coupled with WL Spaces. You may not agree, TG, but luckily you get exactly one vote on this issue, just like everyone else. And you've cast your vote, so move on.
And then you wonder don't you why I tossed you off my network and out of my Group! You really are an obnoxious, big headed imbecile who hasn't a clue about any of the Live services, who wasn't even vaguely around before Wave 3, who has not used any of the desktop apps until recently and yet who purports to know everything there is to know about Live Services!
I have been using Live apps since their infancy when they were first born! All of them and the same with Windows Live! and when I get ideas, they are my own, not borrowed and stolen from other users!
LOL. You're certainly entertaining, TG. I'll give you that. Look how you get all worked up! BTW, how's your little group getting along? Are you still having fun censoring people who disagree with you and controlling discussion topics with your iron fist?
Also I noticed that you've yet to post a single suggestion here. Apparently all you can do is critique others. Why don't you put up or shut up?

You know sometimes I honestly wonder just how long some users have actually been using Windows Live Spaces! Greg for the upteenth time of telling, Spaces IS YOUR BLOG! What on earth would be left if your blog was removed?
Its bad enough that the Spaces page has lost Profile and Photos! Take the blog away and there is no Spaces at all!
