Twitter: @mootools

By  on  
Twitter @mootools

I've followed @jquery now for quite a while. Though I spend most of my time with Moo, it's good to keep up with the other frameworks and see what I can gain from their ideas. Even if you're a MooTools dev, I'd recommend throwing a follow @jquery's way.

That said, I happy to say that I'll be spreading the Twitter love by helping Aaron Newton moderate the @mootools account. Please send any good Moo-related articles, demos, or scripts in an "@" reply to the @mootools account, in a shout out to Aaron directly, as a comment to this page (now and in the future), or via my contact page.

This is an announcement I'm very excited about. Please help gain momentum by sharing articles and passing on the word!

    CSS Sprites

    The idea of CSS sprites is pretty genius. For those of you who don't know the idea of a sprite, a sprite is basically multiple graphics compiled into one image. The advantages of using sprites are: Fewer images for the browser to download, which means...
