  I found this interesting snippet of code on CodePen which i thought would be great as an interactive background for my wordpress site. It isn’t for my own wordpress site however it is for another project which i’m currently working on using the Chosen theme.

  If someone could show me how to add this code and make it my home page background then it would be much appreciated, i have been trying to figure it out for a while however can’t seem to get it.

  Hi there, that is Javascript, and we cannot use that here at WordPress.com as explained here.

  To be able to use that code, you would have to self-host your own WordPress site. You can find out a bit more about that here.

  I forgot to mention that I’m not using the WordPress hosting, I have a domain with 1and1 and I have set up WordPress through their hosting service. Is it possible to do this then?

  Ah, ok. For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help from the theme author directly or ask in the volunteer-based WordPress.org Themes and Templates forum.
