I have decided to eliminate the Silverlight/WPF section for the time being. Silverlight-related posts will move into the Web Development section and WPF will go into .NET/Visual Studio. I may bring the section back if the volume of interesting posts picks up again.
Another note, I’m having issues loading some of the MSDN Blogs pages this morning… could just be DNS issues on my machine. If any of those links give you trouble, give them another try later on in the day.
