So the first release of the slide show is complete. I learned a lot about some of the hidden features that you’ve got to manipulate in Silverlight and it is clear to me that Silverlight isn’t as mature as Flash. There are an abundant number of side effects and a lack of controls developed for the platform, but I still give it the potential for cool stuff as it continues to mature.

The images on the slide show are low res but saved with large compresesion ratios so it will take a bit to download, but Diana will fix those when she has some free time. Otherwise, now that the I’ve got the slide show working for the main page, I’ll be modifying the behavior slightly for the ordered slide show variant for our engagement party story.

But, first comes first, I should wrap up the verbal context of my wedding party this week and can move on to other important information. Oh and one more thing. Apparently RSS, isn’t that difficult to implement, so I’ll be creating an RSS feed from these news entries for all of you e-stalkers to easily keep up with!
