Sharepoint 2010 silverlight web part not available - silverlight-4.0

I have developed a silverlight application with WCF-RIA services and is working fine. I have to deploy this application on a Sharepoint 2010 site.
I am new to Sharepoint 2010. I am having "Full Control" on the site. But when I am in edit mode, not able to see "Media and Content" category which is having "Silverlight" web part.
New web page -> edit page -> Insert -> Web part.
This may be a simple setting issue. Can someone please help.
Thanks.

Along with whatever Thorsten has mentioned, I had to make another setting. Providing access to the web parts which was preventing users from viewing all the web parts

you've to activate the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" Site Collection Feature. After activating all the Silverlight WebParts are available.

Integrating my php web application with sharepoint

I've created a php platform that allows users to upload videos and that shows them in categories and so on. It's written in php with a mysql database.
Now i'd like to integrate the system with sharepoint 2010. The main objective is to show the list of videos the way it's shown on my current site, the secondary is to allow the user to add a video from sharepoint to my system, so it can be seen in the sharepoint list too. Third objective, which would be nice to have, is to be able to search the video (on title) from the sharepoint search functionality.
I'm new to sharepoint, but i'm fluent in asp.net and php, so programming would be no issue. I've tried to hack it by trying to show my current site in sharepoint using an iframe on a new page, but sharepoint removes the iframe tag upon save, because it's insecure.
Should i be looking in creating a new Content Type? Or is that an invalid path for my quest?
Sharepoint 2010 includes support for Silverlight applications. Since you're already fluent in .NET, perhaps you could create a Silverlight app to display your videos.

Cannot see "Custom" web part folder SharePoint 2010

I am new on SP 2010 and VS 2010.
After installation of SP, I am able to surf to localhost, and see a page called "Home".
I made a test Visual Web Part, and it deployed fine.
I am able to edit the home page, and see and add the web part from the Custom folder.
I then made a new site, called Foo Site. When I edit its home page, I do not see the web part Custom folder, so I may choose my web part and add it.
Why does the Custom folder show up on one page, when adding a web part, and not on another?
Did you activate the feature on your new site? When you deploy from Visual Studio it will automatically do this based on where your project is configured to deploy it to (which is why you see it on your original site).

Missing site templates when creating a publising (template) site in SP2010

All I am having issues trying to add some of the additional site templates when a user selects New Site form the site settings menu. I have a publishing site template as recomended by Microsoft as a default Intranet site. How can I add some of the templates such as a team site, or something else?
I was using a publishing template from the start, so i rebuilt the server anyway, and created a blank site with activitating the publishing features.
