shanobi187 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hi, I love this site and I'm on it all the time. The only thing that I could think of to improve it at all would be the addition of a wind meter that's linked to your area. Looking up what the weather is doing is pretty much the only thing kite-related that I don't go through this site for. Just a thought. Thanx again for the great site! -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good suggestion Shane, have you seen such a widget that we could embed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanobi187 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good suggestion Shane, have you seen such a widget that we could embed? I believe if you log on to the weather channel that they have something like what i was talking about (did a little research after posting) http://www.weather.com/services/oap.html?from=hp_tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think I tried to have a go with that one a while ago and didn't find it to be user-friendly on the admin side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kite Shoppe Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 How about this one: http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/cod...UO&state=WA and it is very easy to change the location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Interesting site T, but we're looking for a widget, something produced by a weather service which we can insert into the Kitelife forum pages, and allows our members to set their own weather location to pop up when they log on.

shanobi187 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'll keep looking around, maybe i can find one through different avenues then i've explored so far. I'll let you know if/when I find anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanobi187 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have been searching for a while and I keep finding dead ends. There's a place on yahoo where you can apparently make your own widgets but I've never tried to make a widget before. I'll give it a shot (possibly on friday if it's slow at work) and see what i can come up with, but as of yet the best one i've seen is the one i already left a link to. I'm still searching though. I'm actually kinda amazed that there isn't one readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well, it's simple enough to add one with a fixed weather location (i.e. Portland, OR)... But having one that you as a visitor can set to your own locale is a bit more challenging as we have visitors from all over. Also, the presence of Laptop and PC weather widgets probably negates a lot of the need for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerochic Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've just found a nice wind & weather widget to add to my Mac... http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/i...calweather.html They also have a version for Windows Vista: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widge...ta-Gadget.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant man Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i like weather bug and have always used it.. i dont see any problems with it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerochic Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Since I've had no prior experiences with Weatherbug, I don't know what to say about that. I know their websites are a little ad heavy, but I had no problem with the widget on my Mac. Still... can't be too careful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
