It's *way* past the first of February, and it's now time to recognize devs that have a large number of posts in Silverlight Cream.

Ground Rules

    * I pick what posts are on the blog
    * Only posts that go in the database are included
    * The author has to appear in SC at least 4 of the 6 months considered

I averaged the monthly posts and am only showing Authors with an average greater than 1.

Here are the Silverlight Cream top 5 picks for Jan 31 – Feb 6th (in no particular order):

• Windows Phone Image Button 
• Accept and Cancel Buttons Behavior in Silverlight 
• Customizing Silverlight properties for Visual Designers 
• Back button press when using webbrowser control in WP7 
• Talking about Converters in WP7 | Coding4fun toolkit converters in depth
