It helps direct the user’s attention to certain parts of the site without overwhelming them. I’ve recently started seeing sites use a type of Javascript animation that is really appealing to me. It’s subtle and at the same time has a huge impact on the design. And that’s it, you now have floating pixels on your website. You can use this plugin to add particles to a photography site, add fireflies to a field background image, add water debris, stars… the list goes on, its use is only limited by your imagination. Here are a couple example sites: The plugin is called [Firefly by Motyar](http://motyar.blogspot.in/2010/04/firefly-jquery-animation-plugin.html). It’s incredibly easy to add to your site and can really bring the design to life. ### Arbitrary section ### A brief Markdown Example ## Screenshots * [[ * First * [[ * Second ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g. 1.

(Wordpress 4.9.8) I must admit that I’d love to have seen a shortcode option and a settings page instead of having to edit theme php files. At the moment all you can do is add the plugin and accept what it looks like. Which is great! But a bit more ‘easy’ options would have been awesome. Nevertheless, it looks fantastic, hence the5 stars.
