Add Falling Snow to Your WordPress.com Blog, Even if There's None Outside

Remember when having snow on your desktop was cool? Pixelated snowflakes falling from the top of the screen, settling on the My Computer shortcut or way below on the taskbar. Windows 98SE wasn't really that bad, now was it?

Well, WordPress.com is bringing back the nostalgia, of either your childhood Christmas or your childhood computer, with a brand new feature for its blogs, snow.

Enable this feature and tiny snowflakes start falling all over your blog, swaying with the digital wind from one side to the other. To activate blog snow, go to the dashboard, the Settings > General section and look for the checkbox titled "Show falling snow on this blog."

That's all there is to it, after this, you and your mom can enjoy the snowy spectacle every time you visit your blog, until January 4th, 2012 that is. If you're from California, where WordPress.com is headquartered, it may be the only snow you get to see all year.
