As there is no .live.discussion newsgroup I'm posting here.
Many of you (I hope) know that spaces.msn.com suffered changed thei url's a
few day ago. As a result, the feeds that was
http://spaces.msn.com/name/feed.rss are not updating anymore. You should
change it to http://name.spaces.msn.com/feed.rss if you want to receive the
latest blog posts and not only.

Hope it will help some of you who use spaces.msn.com feeds.

That would depend on your RSS Reader. I use GreatNews which has no problem
with the old URLs.

The reader needs to understand the 301 moved response and it appears it must
make a HTTP 1.1 request (which includes the host header) else you get an
error page.

Yes, I forgot to mention this. I read all the feeds with IE7 and it looks
like that IE7's feed reader don't understand this moved response.
Thanks for replying, I didn't thought to check it in other rss reader.
