I've been kicking around this idea for a little while and it gives me a good excuse to use Beta 2 of silverlight -- a new, semi-interactive header for my blog.  I'm not completely sure how this'll work, probably with a master page swap out, but we'll see. 

Ideally, I'd like to have my header, as you see it now, only with ...I don't know, maybe a water effect.  You click or move across it and ripples appear on it.  Something seemingly simple ...maybe?  Well, off to work.

After some of that work I ran into something interesting -- I'd like to stretch out the header text like I have currently and I happen to find a property named "FontStretch".  After some googling, the jist of it is: some fonts you can stretch, others you can't, and its an enum style value as well (normal, expanded, condensed, like in word) and it appears verdana is not one of them which doesn't add up to me.
