Christmas is around the corner. Buildings and streets are full of Christmas decoration. How about….make it snow in your very own blog? Yup, like the one you see here… Interested?
All you need is to paste a javascript code into your blog HTML/XML editor and edit the snowflake image link. Meaning, you will have to get your own snowflake image and host it yourself in site such as Photobucket or any other similar services.
Download the snow effect script here. (right click save as)
Steps:
- Get ready your snowflake image link (snow.gif)
- Download script. Replace the image link with “IMAGE LINK HERE” (eg. http://yourblog.com/snow.gif)
- Copy and paste the above code into your blog HTML Editor, place it anywhere between the <body> </body> tag.
- Save and you’re done.
Note: Your image recommended to be in transparent background and 24 x 24 in pixel and name your image as snow.gif.
For Wordpress blog, you may want to paste the code into your header.php, right after the <body> tag.
For Blogger (blogspot), you have to be using the classic template in order to use this code. Place the code anywhere between the <body> </body> tag.
if you don’t like to trouble of looking of snowflake images, you can use mine instead. My snowflake image link is

@flux,
tag. Please let me know if you still have problems. ^^Thanks for testing out. I think I should have missed out something when I pasted the code here. So, I’ve uploaded a tested working script for download. Use that one instead. Make sure your blogger template is showing “Template” (Classic template)in the dashboard instead of “Layout”. Just need to paste the code right after the

Saw your complaints about your hosting firm. Maybe you wanna consider bluehost.com (low cost) , or and westhost.com (for VPS).
I am using VPS. Google ‘Virtual private server’ to understand the technology.
I see you are with a Malaysian company now. I am not sure about the quality of Malaysian hosting firms. I have been with U.S firm since the first day. Hope these help.
Cheers,

@Gav,
Thanks for the information. Yes, I have my blog hosted in a Malaysia server. I would love to use a US server however it will be less convenient when come to payment issue.
@cHrIstInA_YY,
You’re welcome.
@♥GLADYS公主♥,
You’re welcome. I’ve seen the snow in your blog ^^
The snow script is nice but not suitable for XML blogger/blogspot. If you which to stick to the XML blogger and still want an X’mas theme, you can visit here.

@GenYong,
Thanks. I’m glad you like my blog theme. Actually I just pick a layout that I think is nice and start modifying it. for eg, the header, footer, sidebars etc.. I use Photoshop for any image modification, the rest are codes (such as link colors).
