Show Falling Christmas Snow on your Blogs!

9:00 PM sopheak No comments

What can be more delightful than welcoming your blog visitors with falling snow. The script that we would use today is provided by dynamic drive and creates an animated effect. The snow smoothly falls down the page and then disappears. We can control the number of snow balls and also the time after which they should disappear. You can easily replace the snow image with any image you prefer. The installation as always is kept extremely easy. Lets add some falling snow to our blogger blogs!

Make these changes:

To set the number of snow balls edit the number 15
To change the snow image replace the bolded link with yours

If you want use white soft snow rather than snow flakes then use this link:

Why not some red colorful snow?

You can replace the image with anything you wish. You can display falling autumn leaves, falling new year message,falling diamonds or even falling hearts! Just play with the code and keep changing the flavours.
