Bushman,
You dont have a url listed or location in your profile... but you have lots of tips and suggestions... Any chance we can take a look at your site...?

I posted this in the Davis section:  http://www3.telus.net/rutat/Current_Vantage_Pro2_48c3d.htm  My "custom" Weatherlink template.  The map is on the "About" page (for now).  Take a peek.

Bushman,
Nice disclaimer.  What about blue ice/decayed satellites falling from the sky?

Hey, it is the land of milk and honey.  :)  Always warm.  :lol: The Java applet is the stock Davis one that provides a scroll of readings.  I used it 'cause it was there. I tried to keep the thing pretty vanilla because I don't remmebr much from the Dot.com boom and didn't want to muck with php etc.  It is pretty much just a personal website.

Glad you like the  disclaimer:  it pains me to have to put those things there, but such is the litigious society in which we live.

Bushman,
Nice disclaimer.  What about blue ice/decayed satellites falling from the sky?

Given recent events in Western Canada, that might  not be a bad idea.   \:D/ There's a couple things I did like a pop-up on the thumbnail.  Also, the about page has the Davis console diagnostics.  Other than a visitor counter on page one, I'm pretty much done.  I did resize the Wind speed/direction graphs (lossy, but who really cares).  I'd decided against the 3D look for the gauges for the same reason.  I will redo the stock Davis Historical page to give a similar  look and feel.

Yet another free map...  http://www.niftymaps.com/  Nice 'cause it lists the last 100 visitors and is a bit of a counter as well.

Thats all well and good. But it would be nice if it were in your profile also.

From home I can see your scroll conditions, and menu items.  Looks good.

Seriously what is up with your temp. Its hasnt been 24.6 in the Shuswap since August 31st.

It seems the map server has been down most of the day.  I guess if it keeps this up, I am going to have to remove it from my site.
