Hey all,
Just thought I should post this sort of a recap of mootools blogs I used
to like and visit since I started using the framework in 2007.

good, explaining selectors and whatnot. last post: nov 2008

Media Vrog - http://mediavrog.net/blog/tag/mootools-mt/ - creator of the
mootools cheat sheets that helped me a lot when I was starting... Last
post: Feb 9 2011
In fact, I can only think of 2 blogs I used to visit that are still active:
David Walsh, of course... http://davidwalsh.name/ - still flying the
mootools flag as strong as ever.
Aaron Newton - http://www.clientcide.com/ - still posts all new stuff he
manages to create, awesome.
I am sure I am missing places but I can't be at this all day. The point
is, though some of these people have now moved on / stopped using
mootools, there are a few that haven't. Also, are there no new bloggers
that would want to post and contribute? My RSS feed has totally
shrunk... I realise twitter and github kind of killed it a little as
micro posts can get info across but it's not the same thing.
Please - if you are using mootools and are doing something cool or you
have something cool to say / show / teach others, post it. If you have a
blog and are posting new content, please share... Nothing can spread
the knowledge as much as blogs do.
