All you need to do is upload the plugin folder to your plugin directory and activate to see falling snow on your blog.

== Description ==

WordPress.com users now have the option to [turn on falling snow on their blogs](http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/12/25/let-it-snow/), after [Matt Mullenweg asked for a falling snow script](http://photomatt.net/2007/12/23/falling-snow-script/) two days ago. Since it is only for WordPress.com users and not for self-hosted WordPress blogs, I whipped up a plugin that does the same. All you need to do is upload the plugin folder to your plugin directory and activate to see falling snow on your blog.

Wordpress.com users will have the snow until 2nd January but with this you can leave it on for as long as you like, though it does not make much sense to leave it on for too long.

== Installation ==

1. upload the folder `let-it-snow` with its contents to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress Admin Panel
1. That's it! For snowfall configuration, refer to original [original DHTML Snowstorm page](http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= It's not working =

If it does not work for you. Check that your theme has the `wp_head()` function call in header.php. If it does not, add `<? wp_head(); ?>` just before the closing `</head>` tag.
If you have questions or need help, leave a comment here.

= The snow is not visible on certain parts of the page =

Most likely your theme has elements at higher z-index. You need to open up snowstorm.js and change `this.o.style.zIndex = 2;` at line 192 to something like `this.o.style.zIndex = 999;`. -- Thanks to [Torben](http://blog.schreiter.info/)
