Adding Weather

So a few people wanted to know how to add the weather link...

First, go to the AccuWeater Download Center

One of the options should be "Free Weather for Your Site or Blog." Click on the "Free Sign Up" link. You'll get to a screen where you enter the basic set-up (units, language, and location). Next you'll be able to choose the size, category and theme. The size on my blog is 180 x 150, but there are a lot of size options here. Once you do this and agree to terms/conditions, you'll reach a screen where you can copy and paste the web site code. Copy the code.

Next, go to the Add/Arrange page elements of your blog editor. You want to "Add a Page Element", and this will open a new window. Select the "HTML/Java Script" option. Paste in the copied web site code, save the changes, and you should be all good.

Hope the directions work...

Holy Crap!!! You think I will be able to do all that? Perhaps I will ask the boys for some assistance on this. After Joe is pretty well known for his assists.
