Copy-and-paste the script into the Insert HTML element as shown.  No adjustments are necessary. You can minimize the element and put it out of the way in a corner, if you'd like to make room for other things on the page. The script works best on a black or dark background. Or change the color codes to a darker color for a lighter page.

Tip: Animated GIFs seem to have an effect of slowing down the cursor animation.  So if you use this script,  do not add any other animations to the page.
