No Silverlight for you

There are always problems to be found when dealing with new technologies. Currently, I'm playing with Silverlight.

My first project with silverlight was to convert my header (the flaming computer at the top of the page) to a silverlight header. Rev one would be a straight, look alike, conversion of the existing header. The only really cool part is that I would be able to change the text on the header. I can't do that right now because all of the text is an image.

And I did it. It works beautifully...except on my blog. All I get from there is a blank box.

A bit of digging with FireBug and it appears my web host is blocking all xaml files. And you know you are in for a bad day when you call support and they say "What is xaml?" Answer: it is just like Flash.

Oh well, they are supposed to get back to me today. We will see how that goes.

If you want, check out my sample page. Hopefully it will be working in the next day or two.
