If you plan on working with the Farseer Physics engine you might find this tool created by DDtMM very useful.
One of the challenges of creating Farseer Physics geometries is accurately associating them with your game sprites.
This Silverlight tool will allow you to create accurate Farseer Physics geometries on top of images loaded from assemblies.

Alex Knight Has a new website about all things Silverlight for graphic designers called Silverzine.
On this tutorial he gives us an idea about cleverly using gradients in Expression Blend. He sure knows what he's doing and it looks great. Check out the rest of what Silverzine has to offer. To this day there is not a lot but I foresee nothing but good and worthy stuff coming.

Helen gives us great ideas on how to visually spice up the Silverlight Loader (http://www.codeplex.com/SilverlightLoader).
Very creative examples, worth looking at. There is more good stuff on this blog so browse away.
The link is the translated page from Russian to English by Google. It's a Ukrainian page but the translation came out better from Russian.
