#davidwalshblog AJAX Chat

By  on  

I announced a few days ago that I had created the #davidwalshblog IRC chat room on Freenode so that my readers could get in touch with me and speak with other readers. That includes getting help, giving help, and discussing web topics.

I quickly got questions from users on how to get to the chat. Many of you haven't used IRC clients before and explaining how to do so can be difficult. For that reason I've fitted my site with Mibbit's embedded IRC client!

Now you have no reason not to join! I look forward to seeing you!
