Does anyone use Microsoft Office Live?

I use Microsoft Office Live Small Business because it was inexpensive, flexible and safe.
The issue is how html, javascript and css it is used slightly different with their site builder.
I am now learning all of this and i built my site with OLSB.

If anyone knows anything about it or uses it please add your thoughts

Judging by your silence I see that know one is hip to it.
Well, I hope you all get a chance to check it out.

Pretty soon Google and Yahoo (and who ever else) will be doing big things. Yea Yea Yea, nice... I'll be there for the ride too. But don't think Microsoft will just sit and let themselves crumble.

They've got awesome deals and extraordinary software and web apps. I suggest getting hip to it.

Why earn one dollar when you can earn two.

I currently have a website using Office live.. But it is not my favorite for building websites.. I prefer spruz.com or freewebs.com for a free hosting and website building site. and I use co.cc to redirect my domain name.

Hope that helps?

The sitebuilder is easy to use. at first it seems real simple and plain but ofcourse you learn more as you go and it gets sweet. When I signed on I got the first year for 14.99, yea sound's cheap but it's far better than any free crap i ever got.
Speakin of free, they do allow you to start with a free site, the only bad things that it has this long url like Chicken.food.health.officelive.com ugh.
But once you sign up for the service it's beautiful, they offer e-commerce solutions, reports, tracking, etc... Everything everyone else has and more. Not to mention guides to building traffic, building the site and theres many other sites built just to teach you how to build and learn css, html, javascript and all that other good stuff. There customer service isn't same day snappy (lol) but It's quick enough to not leave you hangin' like some others i know of.
Altogether it's something not to miss out on.
Check it out.

Oh ok

Officelive is not as useful if you don't put more into it.
Just like many other things, you get out of it what you put in to it...

I dont keep that long name when I use the free stuff. I redirect my domain with co.cc so instead of

Chicken.food.health.officelive.com it would be chicken-food-health.co.cc and I normally choose shorter names for my domains.

And I would rather pay 9.99 a year and 3 bucks a month for a domain and web host and use my own template than a free host if I had the money

And yes, you get out of it what you put in to it..

With OfficeLive you can use your own template...

:I have my new domain registered at co.cc, but when I try to host / redirect my domain to officelive, it doesn't give me an option to specify co.cc domains. Please let me know how did you redirect your co.cc website to officelive.

This lil code worked for me.
Put in your co.cc index page and make sure you replace "http://www.YOUR_WEBSITE.com" with your officelive url

good luck
