Question: I saw this cool effect where snowflakes / leaves/ some other object floated down a web page as you opened it. What is that and where can I find it?

This is a very popular effect which is achieved by DHTML. It's done by adding a snippet of code to your web page, then altering the image file to the one that you want. (Works best if that image is transparent.) There are several places online where you can get the script that will create this effect, most noticeably Dynamic Drive (see below).
