I knew I had stayed in the office too late on a Friday night when I started seeing white dots drift slowly across my screen. As I watched I quickly realized that it wasn’t a symptom of failing vision, but rather a Christmas gift to the dashboard of WordPress.com. So I just sat and stared for a minute, pretending to be somewhere with real snow. After a while I snapped out of it and grabbed this screenshot to try and share the joyful holiday experience with everyone…
but it’s kind of hard to see the snow. Oh well – it’s the thought that counts right? I got a quick Reader’s Digest tutorial on webdesign this evening and it left me with the same question for everything I’m seeing on every site I’ve been on since: “How did they do that?” No exception here. I know a lot of Flash hip-hop is impressive looking, but hard to optimize – so I probably shouldn’t be as impressed as I am… but I am. Oh well – Merry Christmas everyone, and go log in to your WordPress.com main dashboard to check and see if it’s still snowing – that reminds me, I need to remember to turn of the air conditioning when I leave the office tonight.
Updated 2 minutes later – And then I saw the note at the top of my wordpress dashboard – “A Little Snow for the Holidays” – where you can get instructions to add snow even to your blog (like what should be falling on mine right now).
