If you're signed in to Windows Live Mail with a Windows Live ID, or if you have Windows Live Writer installed on your computer, you can post e-mail messages that you've sent or received, RSS articles, or newsgroup postings directly to your online blog on Windows Live Spaces.

To post a message to your space:

Start Windows Live Mail.

Sign in to Windows Live Mail with your Windows Live ID, if you haven't already done so. For more information, see Sign in to and out of Windows Live Mail. If you have Writer installed on your computer, you don't have to sign in.
In the lower-left corner of the window, click the Mail icon , the Newsgroups icon , or the Feeds icon .
In the folder pane, click the folder that contains the message.
In the message list, select the message.
On the Actions menu, click Blog.

If you can't see the menu bar, in the upper right corner of the screen, click the Show menu button , and then click Show all menus.

Your space opens in a browser window, with the message displayed as a blog entry. If you don't have a space, Spaces prompts you to create one.

If you have Writer installed on your computer, Writer opens with the message displayed as a blog entry. You can edit the blog entry before posting it to your blog.
