From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight Extenders: Steve Commisso is a local (Phoenix) developer and sent me this link to some extenders he has done that are very cool. Dragging, rotating, resizing, etc... very useful and I look forward to watching your blog for more :) ... thanks Steve!
Create shadow effect in Expression Blend: Silverlight Girl shows us how to create a shadow effect in Expression Blend ... this is pretty cool... almost like a 'glow' background... and if you haven't checked out her site Mashooo.com, do so... she's done a great job on it!
Posting login credentials to your Silverlight app: Tim Greenfield discusses and demonstrates adding a secure login with credentials to your Silverlight app... useful to all of us!
Run time is design time for AGT [3]: Continuing with Damon Payne's series, here is the 4th [as any good developer, he started at zero :)] In this one he's laying out some more of his underlying structures, such as his IToolboxService.
Silverlight Basics #1: Introduction for dummies: I don't remember where I found Agata Staniak's blog, but she's got a great series started here on Basics... if you're new to the party, these are a good place to begin. If you're not new, scan them to see if there's some subtelty you've forgotten :)
Silverlight Basics #2: The anatomy of a “Hello world” application: Agata Staniak's second post ... Hello World and what all happens between here and there... lots of details... very cool :)
