Loura has a fascinating idea for her blog:

"The other theme idea I’ve been thinking on, is how to make my blog more interactive. I have the beginnings of an old school RPG plan where you explore my blog (as a character) and “find” the post. It’s still in the very beginning stages. Something on the lines of using the URL as an identifier that can then be used to seed a level. You can wander around, face little monsters, and go on the hunt to find the blog post. Lots of different angles to consider."

I love the weird and wonderful web.

heyloura.comHey Loura! | Musings about my blog in the new yearI want to post a bit more on my blog this coming year. Probably about various coding projects I’m playing around with and maybe a little bit about homeschooling. I just find it hard in the moment to jot things down so I can do a post about it later. So I think I need a better workflow on taking notes, with the intent to polish it up to a post.

@hiro Right? @heyloura’s got some great ideas! I’m also thinking about her print theme now.

@heyloura I’m curious how you did the snow in just the header and footer too!

@jarrod Thank you for the kind words and linking to my post 😄

As for the snow, I just have post list at a higher level than the snow, so when the snow falls down the whole page, it just goes behind the posts. If you speak CSS, I used a higher z-index.

You could get something similar on your blog if you added the following custom css:

.h-feed, .h-entry, .content {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 98;
    background-color: var(--dark-background);
}

You'd have the snow on the header, footer, and sides but it would be behind the posts. You need to add a background-color so you can see it. The z-index is 98 so the menu on mobile isn't obscured. You do need position: relative, since z-index won't work on static. I did a quick check on firefox and chrome and everything looked fine for those browsers. 😆 👩‍💻
