    Add to Live.com button now available

    Quite a few of you have asked for a way to let users easily add feeds from your blog or site to their Live.com homepage. So we’re happy to release today an “Add to Live” button! With just one click, users can now add RSS feeds or Gadgets from participating sites to their Live.com homepage.

    To implement the “Add to Live” button on your site, simply add this code and image to the appropriate page(s) on your site:

    <a href="http://www.live.com/?add=http://sampleurl.com/"><img src="wl.gif" border="0"/></a>

    When you insert this code:

     1) Replace sampleurl.com with the Web address of your RSS feed, including any subdirectories.
     2) Copy the wl.gif image (just right click the one below and save it to your local machine) to the same directory as the page containing the link or put the full path to its location in the <img src> string.

     

    Let us know if you have any feedback!

    This isn't working. When you click the subscription button, it takes you to a blank Live.com page and no module has been added with the feed.

    if you are going give code to others do it correctly:
    <a href="http://www.live.com/?add=http://sampleurl.com/"><img src="addtolive.gif" border="0"/></a>
     
    should be:
    <a href="http://www.live.com/?add=http://sampleurl.com/" title="Add rss feed to live.com"><img src="addtolive.gif" border="0"/></a>
     
    i.e add a title, accessability measures please.
     
    Also the image should be on your severs not the individual sites so that it can be changed or re-branded without a legacy of old images remaining out there.
     
    overall the site's are looking better, but it's not going attract me away from google, not today at least.

    One big change that should be made is the ad at the top. It takes up almost 1/3 of the entire page. The aktual content of the website (the e-mail area) is therefore squashed at the bottom of the page. However this part shold in my impression take up at least 3/4 of the page if not more.

    Does this work with atom feeds, such as Blogger?

    In addition to the previous report, I wanted to report a Javascript error on the page - "'L_About_Text' is undefined" on http://www.live.com/gadget2.aspx?b=http%3A//shared.live.com/ftfdvwvxoqaz01MlsfU2zQ/"

    For the past couple days, all my feeds say "Unable to retrieve data, please try again".  Sometimes clicking the Edit link and then Refresh works, but not on all feeds, and once the page is reloaded, it reverts back to "Unable to retrieve data..."
     
    Any ideas?

    Hi there, 
     
    I just want to say i think Windows Live is great! I use Live.com everyday and Windows Live Spaces are even more addictive than MSN Spaces could ever be!
