Weather Widget?
« on: April 21, 2016, 11:02:05 AM »
Hi guys,
Most of you have some pretty neat little widgets in your signatures.  I'd like to generate something like that and put it on a website I'm building.  Anyone have links to how to make that happen?

Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,

basically, there are two possibilities:

1. people who use one of the templates such as Saratoga, Meteotemplate or Leuven, use the scripts that these templates include to generate such banner
2. or if you send your data to Weather Underground, this page also lets you generate such sticker

Thanks, that's helpful, but I'm interested in a more sophisticated one, incorporating my webcam if possible.  Some members have really good ones.

OK, though Im not sure what exactly you mean, as far as I remember I have never seen a user here that would have webcam in their signature. Remember that these must not be too big, your signature must not take half of the page and if you make the webcam image too small, it will be useless.
