Brand New Snow Fall Effect For Blogger This Christmas

Looking back through the archive I think we have released a different snow fall effect every Christmas so why break from tradition.However I didn't want to write a new effect just for the sake of it I wanted it to be better than all the others and it is.The original effects were in many cases just white dots that would float down the page this time we have actual snow flakes and they look great.So it's the classic snow flake shape in different sizes with an infinite fall that still wont block the content for readers.

The effect is created using jQuery and by using jQuery we can offer some settings to suit your blog.The settings we added are to change the sizes of the flakes, colors of the flakes and how many flakes you want falling (The frequency of flakes falling).

But don't worry it's very easy to add the code to your blog and I will walk you through it so even a newbie can do it.Take a look at the demo below then the tutorial.

Also make sure to check out our other Blogger effects you can use for Christmas.
