this statement on their web site means you do not have to login or have a weather link account, I would have thought
Yes exactly. Until now, there was no simple mechanism to embed a snapshot of live weather readings from 2.0 in your own webpage. The switch to DID-based stations in 2.0 from username-based in 1.0 meant that the mechanism for the blue-sky graphic in 1.0 no longer works in a comparable way in 2.0. But this has now been fixed in 2.0 and, to reiterate,
you no longer to log into a wl.com account to see the new live weather graphic, which can be easily embedded in your own web page with the iframe code provided.For anyone wishing to see examples of the three new graphic options, follow the link provided by
casacota upthread. Or alternatively just look at your wl.com 2.0 account under Device and check out the preview buttons under eg station_embed,
It's not obvious at present (to me at least) why there are both station_embed and station_url options. My guess upthread was that further features are due to be added to one or both which will make them more distinct, but details aren't clear yet.
Edit: Actually, just looking at the two submenus a little more, it's clear that the station_url option is just the bare URL for one of the three panel formats and so could be used for a link, whereas the station_embed has exactly the same URL but enclosed in an iframe block and hence directly embeddable in a page.
