I've been blogging using WordPress for about a month and a half now and I do have to say there are some good and bad things.  Unfortunately, the templates being offered are limited.  The templates themselves are constraining in many respects and not a single one of the templates offers all the options that I would like to have in a single blog.  Overall, WordPress is OK but not great or excellent.  LiveSpaces is rather awkward in many respects: Microsoft gets the idea of integrating all of its services such as e-mail, Office Live, SkyDrive, Events, Groups, but it does not seem to fit all the pieces together nicely.  The blogging portion is greatly limited, there are no templates.  This is what you get.  No header that can be individualized and the ablity to integrated external resources such as LinkedIn pr websites is nonexistant.

I've been scrutinizing, fiddling with, and attempting to manipulate items in Windows Live Spaces, specifically the blogging feature.  There is no logical and comprehensible architecture to the way things are formatted, placed, accessed.  Of all the pieces of softwares that I've used in the last 20 years, Live Spaces lacks flow.
