I've post an article about Microsoft Popfly on CodeProject.com.

CodeProject.com: Meet Microsoft Popfly: Part I - Mashup App Creator Built On Silverlight

It covers the following areas:

Popfly Space	Popfly Web Page Creator
Popfly Mashup Creator	Popfly Block Creator

If there is enough interest, then I'll do a part two on building mashups, and a part three on creating Popfly blocks.

Yeah, I was tempted to name it, Chris Craft's Custom Clock Block officially, and then I decided to just name it Clock.

There didn't appear to be an easy way to get access to Date and Time information in Popfly, so I figured it would make for a good test case for my first custom Popfly block.

Clock Block Popfly Example Application: Clockr

 I made a quick application to see Clock Block in action. It takes the current military time and grabs images off of flickr for each digit and makes a Ransom Note clock out of it.

As you can see in the screenshot it was 15:08:46, a little after 3pm, when I took the screenshot.
