Why write this kind of article?

Ajax, DHTML, effects or whatever else you want to call them are not going to go away. Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Friendly (SEF) and accessability will remain a concern as well.

Before I continue, it was brought to my attention that this did not appear to be related to moo.fx but if you look at the demo link at the bottom of this article you will clearly see that the moo.dom.js script is used to facilitate this effect. Since I do not use drop shadowed text or this effect on this site, I created a standalone demo page that shows it in action. Rest assured, moo.fx is a part of the process. It is also intended to be a simplistic and easy to follow example so people can learn to use and enjoy moo.fx and its addons.
