Wow, has it really been over 2 months since we blogged? First of all, the entire Live.com team wishes you a very (belated) happy new year! Despite some stormy Seattle weather, we'd also like to assure you that we haven't been hibernating. In fact, we're hard at work finishing up some very exciting features which we'll be looking to launch soon. We're not quite ready to announce dates or specifics, but everyone who has seen what's coming agrees that it's very cool.  :-)

While we finish that work up, how about some new content for your existing Live.com page? Here's some of the things that we've recently made available:

• MSN TV Listings Gadget - You can find this by clicking "Add Stuff" and navigating to the Gadgets -> Music, Movies, & TV folder.  You can customize the gadget to show your local listings and your favorite channels so that you never again miss an episode of American Idol (or anything else you may want to watch).
  
• Valentine's Day Collection- In the mood for love? Maybe just some chocolate? Either way, try adding the Valentine's Day collection to your Live.com for some fun holiday content. http://www.live.com/?addTemplate=valentinesday
  
• Celebrity Homepages - Check out http://celebrities.live.com/ for the latest news on Celebrity Collections for Live.com! Not only are these are some great looking collections, but there are cool prizes you can win as well.
  
  (Note that all of this content is available in the U.S.A. - availability may vary by individual country)
