Clouds.. thousands of em..

Not so long ago, the Wapple website had clouds.

Unfortuntely, the powers that be decided that the new version didn’t need them, so rather than sulk about it (ok I did sulk a bit) I’ve turned those hand crafted cumulo nimbii into a WordPress plugin!

All that work designing the clouds, making sure they appear at random locations and animating them so they move across the screen as if blown by a category 5 hurricane. None of it has gone to waste now it’s available for everyone!

Best of all, there’s a hot air balloon that appears at a random time and moves across your site from bottom-right to top-left!

Clouds on WordPress

Any day now, WordPress will approve my plugin (and lets face it – who wouldn’t want clouds on their site!) and you’ll be able to search for clouds when installing a plugin! But in the mean time, all of that cloud goodness is available for all to see on here! (They’re the white fluffy things at the top of the page incase you missed them).

By the way, keep your eyes peeled for any other flying objects appearing (other than the balloon) – if you spot them feel very privileged as they only appear to a chosen few!

If you’ve got any suggestions for other things that fly – Elliot on his bicycle with ET in the basket or a bi-plane are 2 that spring to mind – let me know and I’ll try and include it!

There are a couple that will appear and some other suggestions for new ones would be more than welcome. A bicycling Elliot with an ET in the basket? Easy! Maybe a bi-plane or something more exotic. If you’ve got any suggestions let me know!
