Let it Snow, Let it Snow - Let Snow...

"It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

I saw this snowfall effect at other Wordpress hosted blogs, seemed like Wordpress is in the Holiday mood since it has a snowfall widget that is only available unti Jan 4 of 2009. I was so jealous that I immediately installed it at my other blog, Quite Oxymoronic, very Christmas-sy right?

Anyway, since I'm all for the holiday spirit, I made sure that I have snowflakes trickling down this very blog as well. If you are wondering how I did it, I'll show you how.

1. Go to Layouts tab and in your page elements click "add a gadget".
   
2. Add the HTML/ Javascript gadget that lets you add a third-party functionality or other code to your blog.
3. Copy this code right here and viola your own snowfall
   

<script src="http://snow-effect.googlecode.com/files/snow.js" type="text/javascript"><br /><br /><br /><br />/***********************************************<br /><br />* Snow Effect without images-by Kurt Grigg at http://www.btinternet.com/~kurt.grigg/javascript<br /><br />* Script featured & available at Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/<br /><br />* Please keep this notice intact<br /><br />***********************************************/<br /><br /><br /><br /></script>

Unlike most snowfall scripts this uses plain white text (full stops and apostrophes) to act as snowflakes which trickle down the page. I hope you enjoy this festive blog decoration, please share your opinions if you experience any trouble installing this widget by leaving your comments below.

-- Update

For those who have read my post and didn't find any code, my apologies. Apparently the codes wouldn't show on page. But here it is now as you can see. Enjoy!
