THANK YOU SO MUCH FUNKY! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!
Request by: Doris at Scraps Dimensions
Adding a Fairy Dust mouse trail to your blog.
Step 1 – Decide on color of your mouse trail.
Click here to get the color of your choice COLOR CHART save that color code. The color in the sample given is SILVER. You can see the Fairy Dust Mouse Trail in action on my test blog HERE.
Step 2 – Backup your blog template.
You can find directions to do that here.
Step 3 – Change your HTML code.
Go to CUSTOMIZE/LAYOUT/EDIT HTML and look in the top of your HTML code for the word <head>
You will place this code directly behind the word <head>
<script type='text/javascript'>

</script>
Step 4 – PREVIEW
Give your blog time to load and you should be able to preview the mouse trail. You may want to add more “sparkles” by increasing the number in the top of the code.
Step 5 – SAVE
If you like what you see, then save your HTML template.
Now you have a fairy dust mouse trail.
