Hi, i want to learn Expression blend.. ive been reading some blogs.. about it.. but the applications are some what hard to follow cuse i haven't had a crash course on Blend.. any good tutorial to learn the basics?? i think i need to learn XAML first..what do you recommend?

Have a look at Jesse Liberty's Silverlight video tutorial series, which includes a couple of videos on Expression Blend. Learning XAML will be very beneficial to you, although is not absolutely required to use Expression Blend.

Microsoft have some videos up on their Expression site as well. Seem fairly comprehensive:

I also have a series of written Blend tutorials available, that I'd like to humbly offer. They were written as an introduction to Silverlight through Blend, demonstrating the areas where Blend can be more useful than Visual Studio.

As a quick disclaimer, I didn't search through looking for a post to pimp my tutorials. This thread just came up as a Google Web Alert for Blend, which seems a bit late now.
