I don't know if it's worth the work but i will stay on lifeyo till the very end...
In fact, the service seems to be dead already. The official blogs wasn't updated for more than a month. The same counts for their page on Facebook. Not to mention the lifeyo twitter stream which shows the latest entry from November 18, 2009.
None of the bugs i've mentioned here and in my blog post on mxm-studios.com was fixed recently and none of my other lifeyo (test)pages ever appeared. At least my lifeyo site is pretty well positioned in Google...
So who knows.
I will stop writing about lifeyo because i think it's time wasting. I hope there will come better times.
But i'm going to post some infos about my erotic machinima works and will create a cool info page here.

I like lifeyo.com and even wrote a blog post about it yesterday.
In that post i mention a few bugs of the lifeyo system, not very big ones. But today's list of bugs is getting longer and longer and longer. I will post some of them here. I checked them twice to make sure it's not a mistake by myself... enjoy ;-)
- Yesterday i tried to open another lifeyo site for testing and playing. You can do that on the dashboard. The whole process doesn't work. After naming the new site and choosing a layout and url an error appears.
- I receive the confirmation mail anyway.
- When i follow the link in the mail to get to the new site, it let's me login to my account - although i'm still logged in.
- That doesn't matter because the login doesn't work anyway. I must return to my main site where i'm still in the backend (Well, sometimes not).
- Finally back on the dashboard, the new site don't appear.
I tried it with a few more new sites, always the same results: I receive an error, a confirmation mail (sometimes hours later), the url is reachable but doesn't let me log in. Well, the url is reachable but doesn't appear on my dashboard.
Also on the existing (this) site many bugs appear:
- It's impossible to add own html code to any post, text or photo. I'm mainly talking about title-tags which are a must-be for every element. It's sad enough that i must add them by hand. But all changes to the html code will be rejected by the system.
- The same counts for text formating with the usual text editor. Changing colors is a mess, changes often appear much later or not at all. The same with font sizes and other formating. It's pretty unstable. No fun.
- While re-arranging elements/widgets it can happen that you move it underneath a bigger one (like the main content area). It's impossible to grab the element because it's layered by another. Log out and in because there is no undo or reset.
- The photo album widget "Staple" only seems to show horizontal formats. Other widgets also show vertical formats, but the "Staple" won't.
- The missing of a preview function is a no-go. Even blogspot can do that.
I'll stop here. In theory lifeyo could be a pretty fine service for advanced publishers who are looking for an easy-to-handle sideblog. But at the moment it's only usable for absolute beginners, people who don't know anything about websites and never will touch buttons like "Advanced Options" or "Show HTML".
I hope the lifeyo team will work hard to fix the bugs and make everything really that easy like they say on their fancy startpage.

I've just discovered lifeyo.com today and quickly added a little basic information about me and my works.
Don't expect too much info yet. I will add more content to this site time after time. Don't hesitate to send me suggestions, comments, ideas, wishes, wet dreams and kisses - please also read the about page.
One thing i can tell you so far is about lifeyo.com. I've stumled upon it, never heard of it before. It looked interesting so i registered and created this little site in no time.
There are still some minor problems - mainly when adding own html code like title-tags - but after all i can say that lifeyo.com is a pretty cool service. I think i will write I have written a post about lifeyo on my blog...
