Was dissapointed to find there wasn't any discussion going on here but maybe that all occurs on the WD forum. Makes sense.
Always looking for more tips as I am so new my PWS hasn't even arrived yet :)
Thanks!

Congratulations on your new weather station and on joining the Weather Display user community. While many of us run WD on our stations, you'll probably find the WD forum ( http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/ ) to be better equipped to handle detailed questions on setup of WD and for reporting problems with WD -- the developer Brian Hamilton is VERY active on Weather-Watch.com forums.
If you'd like to try a fairly turnkey HTML template set for a personal weather website using Weather Display, I'd like to recommend you take a look at the Carterlake/AJAX templates for a 10-page, XHTML 1.0-Strict display that's highly customizable and a good starting point for your own website.
http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-carterlake.php#carterlake for more info.
If you're game to try more advanced things later (and your hoster supports PHP), then several members have free PHP scripts to enhance your website:
Carterlake: http://www.carterlake.org/weatherphp.php
Anole: http://scripts.anolecomputer.com/download.shtml (Weather Sticker is particularly nice!)
Saratoga-weather: http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts.php
Let us know how we can help, and welcome to WXForum.net!
Best regards,
Ken

Thanks! I am a member of that forum and will be spending time there too! I stopped by your site and the other site briefly to check out the scripts. A lot of hard work and great programs there. I knew about the Weather Stickers as I had seen them elsewhere and wanted that feature already.
It happens that I own the server as I operate a web hosting company so of course I have PHP :D (linkuphosting.com/net)
I got notice yesterday that my PWS had shipped but I don't know how they shipped it on a Sunday but will know when it arrives later in the week I hope.
I am trying to get my ducks in a row by getting the web site up and running as well as I can without any weather data to contribute. I have already signed up with Wunderground and CWOP.
Thanks again so very much!!
