NEW Windows Live Messenger - MSN 8 (Beta)

New Look For MSN Messenger with MSN Messenger 8 (Beta Version)
 
 
Yes, as you can easily read on digg right now, Microsoft's Live.com got a makeover. However, the search feature in Windows Live (Beta) has also been a totally reworked, and the results are getting better all the time. Google should be worried. Searching via Live will return excellent results, and allows you to customize the search results. Image searches were especially nice, offering thumb views with rollovers that give specifics for that image. There's a lot of AJAXian stuff going on, and just better general organization.
So it looks a little smoother

<br>  =  Break (Separates two images from appearing side by side, though the bottom of the first image and the top of the second image will appear with no space in between)

<br><br>  =  Line Break (Separates two images from appearing side by side, with one blank line in between the bottom of the first image and the top of the second image)

<p align=center><img src="ENTER THE URL FOR YOUR IMAGE IN HERE!"></p>

 

If you want to add more images you will need to add <br> between each image if you want our images to be displayed one on th op of the other and move </p> to the end of the code for your last image.  Here is an example for a code for two images.

 

<p align=center><img src="ENTER THE URL FOR YOUR IMAGE IN HERE!"><br><img src="ENTER THE URL FOR YOUR IMAGE IN HERE!"></p>

 

If you want a blank line in between each image you will need to add an extra <br> between each images code.  Here is an example of a code for two images with a line break in between each image.
