Plugins/Extensions

For Blogger Users: There is a widget that makes it easy to add the “falling snow” effect to your blog. Using it around the holidays doesn’t add too much distractions for your readers, although you have to remember to take it down before spring arrives.

For WordPress Users: An updated version of the “Let It Snow” plugin is now available, with a settings panel to configure the main settings of the plugin.

Snow, Balloons, and More – This plugin includes more options than just falling snow.
