I mentioned that their were two ways to start a blog entry. If you close the blog entry window and go back to your main page you will see a link at the top right hand corner of the page that says "Edit Your Space", click on this. You will be taken to a page where you can edit any part of your MSN Spaces page.
From this page you will see an area at the top of the editing area in then center of the page where you can edit your MSN Spaces blog. At the top of this area is a link that says "Add entry", click on this. Your blog entry editing page will open so you can add your first MSN Spaces blog entry.
