Thanks for the comments. Note that I NEVER said that the CC requirement was a scam at all. In fact I said word for word,

“Free domain name and hosting, - This one checks out the hosting provides 30 MB which is plenty for most small business sites or personal sites that would use a free tool like this. The domain is really yours, if you want to take it with you to another host you will then have to pay for it, once you move it, but it is free as long as you use Microsoft Office Live and YOU DO OWN IT personally”

However, I am seriously dismayed about the inability to edit HTML more so now after dealing with the problems it causes then when I wrote the first review. It just makes no sense to me that Microsoft (in my opinion the best software company in the world) would build a site builder with out this functinality.

You now have the distinction of being the only site builder in the world where you can’t edit the html source. Not a good thing to be in my opinion!

Further the massizve problems with FireFox layouts are pretty bad too. I know you guys want the world to us IE but it just is not the way it is.

Last now I am stuck with that domain on your builder for 6 months. To bads since I aready used it to crack the top ten on Google! There is so much I can’t do with Live Basic at this time I am going to have to turn the site into a gateway and hope you improve it in time.

Sorry to be so tough but in the blog world there is no spin,

Thanks for trying us out! Glad to hear you like what we’ve done so far.

The CC requirement is not a scam at all, it just there to prevent people from using us for 100s of free domains as the FAQ says.

As for your other pain points, I assure you they are all on our list of upcoming fixes.
