"Happy New Year" Popup with CountDown Timer

Happy New Year 2014 our beloved readers! How can I forget wishing my family a splendid new year? :D Today marks the sixth consecutive year of serving you all since 2008! That is indeed a long journey for a school going boy to a university graduate and the credit goes to this cute little family that I have online. We wish you all a new year full of abundant new zeal and joy, a year full of honest commitments and a year full of pleasant surprises. May you all have the best in life and I sincerely wish you all the Holy blessings that I wish for myself. You guys are the best! In order to dress up your blogs with beautiful near year greetings, we crafted a new year version of the Christmas jQuery popup we published last week. And guest what? It has the same unique 4 features that not even a premium popup would have! You got us. It is a highly advanced light weight jQuery popup that comes with a default count down or countup timer, comes with 3 animations, Falling snow flakes and most importantly it is fully controlled via HTML5 LocalStorage cookies. So lets buzz up our blogspot blogs with something worth trying out!

Add it to Blogger

All steps are exactly similar to the ones we already shared on our christmas popups tutorial except for the styling which I will discuss here. Kindly therefore follow all steps shared in the Christmas tutorial by following this link. Follow all steps there and skip step#5.

Add the following CSS code instead of the code shared in step#5 of previous tutorial:

That's all!

Hide Winter Snow Fall

If you don't want to show the falling snow then kindly remove this code:

$(document).snowfall({deviceorientation : true, round : true, minSize: 1, maxSize:8,  flakeCount : 250});

This code is given in step#4 of previous tutorial.

The HTML

For step#6 use the following HTML code

<div id="myModal" class="reveal-modal" >                                               <h2>Count Down Begins!</h2>                                                                         <script type='text/javascript'                                           src="http://tools.mybloggertricks.com/mbt-counter.js"></script>                         <a class="close-reveal-modal">&#215;</a>                           </div>
