How to Add Floating Text which Follows the Cursor in Blogger

If you want to show any text like "Welcome Here" or "Sign My Guestbook"or "Your Text Here", which follows the mouse cursor (trail text effect), like the one displayed in the image

• Log in to Blogger, go to Layout

• Add a Gadget of HTML/JavaScript type. 

• Then add this code in to it:.

<script language="javascript">











// ENTER TEXT BELOW. CAN *NOT* INCLUDE NORMAL HTML CODE.



var text='YOUR TEXT HERE...';







var delay=40; // SPEED OF TRAIL



var Xoff=0; // PIXEL COUNT FROM THE LEFT OF THE CURSOR (- VALUES GO TO LEFT)



var Yoff=-30; // PIXEL COUNT FROM THE TOP OF THE CURSOR (- VALUES GO UP)



var txtw=14; // AMOUNT OF PIXEL SPACE EACH CHARACTER OCCUPIES



var beghtml='<font color="#00436e"><b>'; // OPTIONAL HTML CODE THAT EFFECTS WHOLE TEXT STRING SUCH AS FONT COLOR, SIZE, ETC.



var endhtml='</b></font>'; // END HTML CODE. MOSTLY USED IF ABOVE SETTING IS USED.







//********** NO NEED TO EDIT BELOW HERE **********\\
