live.com hates me

In looking at my traffic for this blog and other sites one thing that jumps out is the lack of traffic from live.com.

I have submitted my website to live.com many times over the past year and have had no luck in getting into their index until just last week. Now I am in the index, but only my home page.

Recently live.com released webmaster tools, which I used to check my sites status.

The webmaster tools interface is pretty bad.  I know it's in beta and all, but it really offers very little value other than telling you your basic site rank, when last crawled, and if you are blocked.  There are other tabs for information, but they are just blank for me (no data).  One tab that is useful and worked well is top backlinks, which shows a lot of good backlinks with 5 bars for domain rank.

So, even though this site is a PR of 7 with google and shows well in yahoo, the only page that gets indexed with live.com is the home page.

Have I done something wrong?  Is there something wrong with my blog code?  Note the incoming links below, and that the vokda link is in fact the top. :-)
