Official blog for the Windows Live Digital Memories Experience team
From Bill Crow's HD Photo blog:
We've just posted updated versions of the HD Photo Plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop Software to the Microsoft Download Center. There are now versions for both Windows and Macintosh OS X. There is an updated beta for Windows Vista and Windows XP, plus a new beta for both Intel and PPC Macs running OS X. In addition to the direct links above, you can always find the various HD Photo downloads by going to the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads and searching for "HD Photo".

Digital-photography-school.com is another good web site with practical tips on how to take better photos. You can subscribe to their blog to stay up to date when they post new articles.
Some recent gems:
I think that they strike a great balance with articles that can benefit both beginners, but also have value for intermediate and advanced photographers. The great thing about photography as a hobby is that no matter what skill level you're at, or what equipment you have, you can still have fun, and there's always more to learn. The digital photography school helps remind me of that!
First, we want to send a big congratulations to the Windows Live SkyDrive team on launching their public beta last night. This new addition to Windows Live allows you to store files online, up to 500 MB for free, and then access them from any computer. You can even include a module on your Windows Live Space that lets you share your files with other people. You can read all about it on the SkyDrive Team’s Space. Great work!
Along with the release, we also included a bug fix to our Windows Live Spaces upload control. If you’ve been having trouble using Spaces to upload your photos recently, we encourage you to try again now. Thanks for your patience!
