Microsoft is offering free 4GB web space to host silverlight applications. If you have complete control over your site, you may not need to sign up with microsoft live.com, however, if you want to embed silverlight streaming into sites where you donot have complete control for exmaple, your blog, then the microsoft’s offer the thing for you.

Silverlight streaming enables one to host the entire silverlight application. so basically you develop the super-cool application and want somewhere to host it, the xaml files etc. silverlight streaming is the solution for you.

After logging on to silverlight.live.com, the first you need to do is to create a silverlight application. The required link can be found on the left sidebar. The most important step in hosting your silverlight application here is the creation of manifest.xml file. It will look something like this:

<SilverlightApp>
<source>myApp.xaml</source>
<width>600</width>
<height>90</height>
<jsOrder>

	<js>Silverlight.js</js>
	<js>MyApp.xaml.js</js>
         <js>Default.html.js</js>

</jsOrder>
</SilverlightApp>

once you have that, you need to zip all your files into a single file which are required to be uploaded the silverlight website. When the upload is complete, all you have to do is to follow the silverlight embed process. Finally, you are provided with the code to be pasted in your html file in order to embed the silverlight control.
