Last year, I didnt take the chance. Actually, I missed that. This year, I am fully prepared!
Want a falling snow (made by Scott Schiller, its an awesome script) and a snowman (Sorry for my drawing, I did my best as I can) on your website? Its easy, only need to add two lines of code.
If you are a Blogger.com blog owner, simply add an HTML/JavaScript gadget with the code below:
<script src="http://livibetter.googlepages.com/snowstorm.js"></script> <script src="http://livibetter.googlepages.com/snowman.js"></script>
If you dont want the snow to be stacked and piled up (however, snow still stay for a while at bottom, but will disappear soon.), replace first line with
<script src="http://livibetter.googlepages.com/snowstorm-nocollect.js"></script>
If you dont like the ugly snowman, dont copy the second line.
Let it snow!
PS. I also want to have a jukebox, but never seen a good one. If you know a good jukebox widget for this special season, be hurry to let me know!
Note
Thank whom have suggested me about the jukebox. I think I will not add a jukebox, its not because I didnt see a right player but I dont know what songs to play. However, since we have many suggestions, I will collect them and post a new posting about music player and hope that would help someone choose. (2008-12-16)
This is just what i was looking for. I really love this falling snow effect. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteAbout the jukebox, Im afraid I dont know any good one. Sorry about that.
Hi, SSTRM!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you like it! Its OK about the jukebox. I think thats quite hard to find a good one.
I wish that is a Flash player, no autoplay, no additional links outside the player.
Thanks a lot for this script! :)
ReplyDeleteOh also if youre looking for flash music players for your page you might want to try http://www.myflashfetish.com/ they have a lot of great flash players! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. The problem is it has links outside out the player and thats what I dont know.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I so insist to have only one Flash player without other links outside in the embedding code? Because if someone wants to use my code to show a jukebox on their blog or website, they probably dont want to have those links. At least, I dont want. However, I am totally fine with a huge button which leads to the Flash player providers website, but outside of player? no, thanks!
hi, thanks for the script but i was wondering, how could i change the script so that the snow wouldnt stack and pile up at the bottom?
ReplyDelete@Qi Wen, I have uploaded a new script (reread the blog post), which turns off `snowCollect`. You can check it out.
ReplyDeleteHey,thanks for your snowfall html code.Only one problem here.The snowman aint sitting at the bottom of the window for my case,but somewhere near the top of the page.Also,for my case,the code for the snow not to collect at the bottom of the page doesnt work. :( Help me?
ReplyDelete@Soulimonier,
ReplyDeleteWhat browser do you use? I know it wont work for IE6 and I am lazy to fix that.
Aha... I gave the wrong link to the js. Should be snowstorm-nocollect.js, please try again.
Fantastic thanks very much have been looking for ages for snow for my blog, sorry i cant help you though.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! However, when I put it on my blog as an .html gadget, when my page tries to load, it comes back and says it cannot find my page and I get a .html error.
ReplyDelete@Jaimee, I am not sure if you know what I meant by "add HTML/JavaScript gadget," here is a link to that: http://getctrlback.blogspot.com/2008/12/howto-add-blogspot-htmljavascript.html
ReplyDeleteIf you does know it clearly, could you take a screenshot of the error message?
Perhaps you can tell me how you fix that?
ReplyDelete@Soulimonier, just tell me your OS and Web Browser, I will fix it.
ReplyDeletelivibetter, I was on XP using IE7, but I switched to my other computer, Vista with Mozilla and it worked just fine. Thank you so much for this, I spent 6+ hours last year looking for this and trying to get others to work, and never had any luck. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIm using IE.Hey,if its troublesome,dont bother,ya know...it isnt that important. :) And whats OS? Im kinda dont understand shortforms.Teehee.
ReplyDeleteOh,Im using windows vista btw.
ReplyDeleteI have just fixed the problem. If your snowman still doesnt want to stay at bottom-left corner, tell me.
ReplyDeletelivibetter, you said about a jukebox, dont you? well...have you heard about the music hutch? this is their site : www.themusichutch.com
ReplyDeletethanks a lot ya.It works now.Hopefully on bothe firefox and IE.Oh,Ive heard that you need a music player.And someone recommended you myflashfetish.com eh?
ReplyDeleteAnd you said you didnt want the ads beneath the player.You can actually remove those,ya know.
@Soulimonier, thats the question: Could we remove?
ReplyDeleteEven TOS doesnt mention about, we should still respect to the developer.
I wont do removal without written permission.
Just got a mail from Grooveshark (http://listen.grooveshark.com/) (Almost forgot I have an account), that is exactly what I am looking for.
ReplyDeleteNow the question is what songs should be played?
Hey,Ive been to a couple of blogs.And all Ive seen is that people removing all those stuffs.Tons of peeps have already done that.So,why question about it?
ReplyDelete@Soulimonier, because that doesnt mean its right, even the whole world people do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the script! It worked like a charm.
ReplyDeleteEllo~
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the code and the tutorial, it helped a lot. I know there is a way to interract with the snow using the mouse but i couldnt figure how. There is other scripts for other kinds of snows on "Dynamic Drive" but its just plain ugly pixelated snow :3
This one is neat, plus it collects at the bottom of the screen :D Html/Java trully improved since it started, i wonder what well be able to do in 10 years.
Anyway thanks a lot.
You are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and all that jazz : )
Yeah, I really like this falling snow effect too. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas from Mongolia.
ReplyDeleteAbout the jukebox, I used this http://www.myflashfetish.com/ I dont know you would like it.
thanks a billion for the code!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the snow effect ! Its just what I was looking for.
ReplyDeleteAbout the jukebox, im very satisfied with the one I use in my blog,its from gcast but I dont know if you like it
Merry Christmas!!!
I really like this snow effect, but when I put this script on my blog it shuts down completely.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that??
@CelDara Did you mean you can see it on my blog but not on your blog? Could you post a link to your blog, then I can check it out? and what browser and version were you using?
ReplyDeleteI want to ask sth...
ReplyDeleteI just discover this awesome post a minute ago...
and its summer now...
so how can we change the snowman to other thing else??
Cool! this is what I have been looking for!! Thanks!
