Martin Mihaylov on the MultiscaleImage control, Tamir Khason on Visual Tree and thickness, Mike Snow on SL and JS, Donavon West on DeepZoom Obama, Video Player by David, Jesse Liberty's Styles and Templates Tutorial is Up, Frank LaVigne on Swift3D and SL, and Andy Beaulieu resolving Default.aspx being executed.

From SilverlightCream.com:
Tip: Maximal and minimal zoom level in the MultiscaleImage control
Martin Mihaylov resolves a problem I've noticed in DZ apps ... that you either zoom the image into perfect nothingness, or you keep zooming in until you loose all focus... this is pretty darn useful!
Silverlight Visual Tree Investigation
Tamir Khason has been on a writing jag, apparently... it's only been 24 hours since I posted, and he's got 3 articles up! ... this first one on takes a shot at finding and holding references to all elements containing text... pretty cool :)
How to handle thickness
In this latest post, Tamir tackless Thickness, such as Border Thickness, and along the way explains tokenizing values in SL. He also has a link to his 3rd article on Type Converters... don't skip that one either!
Tip of the Day #15 – Communicating between JavaScript & Silverlight
Mike Snow has a tip up on talking back and forth between SL and JS. Yeah I know there's a lot of folks out there that hate JS, but hey... this is the good stuff!
The Making of Deep Zoom Obama: By Donavon West
I didn't post the DeepZoomObama.com site when I saw it even though it was fun to play with because it was just a demo, but now Donavon West has submitted an article explaining it to the Writing contest Michael Sync has going on. Donavon explains the aggregation and some very fun things along the way to getting it all going, such as the AndreaMosaic generator...
Using Silverlight to Create a Video Player: By David
David (nope, not me) also posted an article to Michael on bulding a Silverlight Video Player...
Tutorial on Styles & Templates Now Available
Jesse Liberty's Styles and Templates Tutorial he wrote about yesterday is now ready for prime time, so go take a look at that in your favorite format.
Swift3D and Silverlight
Frank LaVigne discusses Swift3D, what it is, how it is used and how there is now Silverlight Support ... The demos look pretty cool... if you're interested in 3D, this will probably be on your list of things to look at!
Why is my Default.aspx page Always Executed?
Andy Beaulieu takes a somewhat common problem and digs deep enough to find a Silverlight twist to it, and hopefully will keep a lot of us from having the same problem... good one, Andy!

Stay in the 'Light!
