Will WordPress be letting us use the FANTASTIC Snow feature this December – if yes (PLEEEASE) then could you give us some idea of when?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I believe the snow bunnies are shovelling as we speak.

Oh really??? I do hope you’re right – it’s such a cool extra – makes other bloggers wish they were with WordPress.

No. But I’ve been shovelling mud out of my driveway all week, does that count?

Woohoo! Bless their little cotton socks! We’ve got snow folks!!!! It’s snowing on WordPress blogs – thanks. I know, I’m like a big kid, but hey, I lived in Africa until I was 18 so still get a thrill, even if it is only snowing on my blog.

Note: If you do not wish to have snow on on your blog you can turn it off here -> Appearance -> Extras.

@timetheif,

Ummm…

Folk who want to turn the snow on must select the extra:
Appearance -> Extras
check this box”
“Show falling snow on my blog. (Only until January 4th 2009.)”

Really? Well that’s an improvement over last year when snow feel until we turned the option off. ;)

hmm…, I’m not seeing it.
and under appearance, it seems there is a choice.

Maybe that’s because I turned it off last year? But that is not logical…

Should have said “choice to turn it on”
rather than off…

Yes, it’ll remember your setting from last year.

If you don’t want to see snow on any blogs, go here:

And to undo that:

@tellyworth

Then thank you for the clarification about saving last year’s settings!
Not illogical, then. Very sophisticated.
