#davidwalshblog on IRC
I've had some great experiences on the #mootools and #cakephp IRC chat rooms. I've gotten help when I've desperately needed it and have been able to return the favor by giving tips to others. With that spirit in mind, I've created the #davidwalshblog IRC chat room.
My audience is very diverse so expect to see topics in #davidwalshblog ranging from MooTools to jQuery to PHP to CSS and so on. Please sign on any time you'd like! If you need help or feel like helping others, #davidwalshblog will be a great place to do so. Of course you'll see me quite a bit, but you may even see special guest drop-ins like CSS-Tricks' Chris Coyier, Eric Wendelin, Christoph Pojer, and other Moo devs.
I will act as moderator along with super-helpful #mootools room members Garrick Cheung and Jabis. A special thanks to both of them. Remember, however, that when you need help with difficult MooTools issues, be sure to hit #mootools as well!
So why wait? Join the fun now! And if you don't have an IRC client, please support Pidgin!

![Create a CSS Cube]()
CSS cubes really showcase what CSS has become over the years, evolving from simple color and dimension directives to a language capable of creating deep, creative visuals. Add animation and you've got something really neat. Unfortunately each CSS cube tutorial I've read is a bit...
![Highlighter: A MooTools Search & Highlight Plugin]()
Searching within the page is a major browser functionality, but what if we could code a search box in JavaScript that would do the same thing? I set out to do that using MooTools and ended up with a pretty decent solution.

![Create a Twitter AJAX Button with MooTools, jQuery, or Dojo]()
There's nothing like a subtle, slick website widget that effectively uses CSS and JavaScript to enhance the user experience. Of course widgets like that take many hours to perfect, but it doesn't take long for that effort to be rewarded with above-average user retention and...
Just a note, the links should not contain the # when linking to an IRC channel.
@Robbo: Updated — thank you!
You know what Dave? You should hold something like a weekly class or so (Like Chris’s Classes “screencasts”) in the IRC Channel. You, Garrick, or Jabis could tutor the audiences! And you can announce the next class here in the blog, or even make a poll for what the next class’s topic should be! What’cha think?
For those of us already on IRC you should state what server all these channels are on! ;D/
