Glad you like the style of my code samples. Gotten some good feedback on the visuals - I think it makes it easier for people who only "skim" the article and only look at the pictures. Adds a little bit of personal touch as well.

Really appreciate what you do with the Silverlight Cream - I get a steady number or referrals everyday coming from your posts which is great! :)

Thanks,
Jonas
