Okay...just so you don't think I'm lazy and can't search this myself, I have tried. The script listed on the index page for scripts is posted as a question with no one replying.

I would like to have just snow falling on my index page. It can be the * character and not a real snowflake if that matters. I did try a search as well but it seems when I do a search it brings me up to all kinds of random topics.

Would someone be able to provide me with a link or point me in the right direction to do this?

Thank you! Rose

Thanks Roy. Most I have seen are after the body tag. I want this on my index page only. Where do I place the script?

Thank you.
