    My first foray with Silverlight..

    Just had my first play with Silverlight using Expression Blend 2.0 to create a front page for one of my websites

    Nothing fancy, just a Title, Pic and a link..

    Dunno if its any better than Flash though..

    Welcome to DJ-Wilson...

    Can't test it here, as silverlight doesn't work in linux. So flash would still be better at the moment.

    Silverlight is kinda the same as Flash, as i said mine is very basic so there is no real benefit to what I did yet

    All i saw was a button.imagre saying get silverlight-pressed it - download it and ran it.

    Went back to web page - pressed refresh - still same as before.

    I think silverlight needs a bit more work

    regards
