Netvibes Weather Module
Tuesday, August 28, 2007 
Since the migration, I have received a few contacts about the missing weather badge some were using in Netvibes. My apologies... I killed it by accident. Instead of using ASP.Net for the proxy, I am now using PHP... which is fun but pretty new to me so this didn't go up as quickly as I would have liked.
If you click on the magnifying glass, you can enter your own zipcode or city name, and when you use it, that setting is stored on your machine. However know that it won't sync across other machines... the data is not being stored in a database on my server. So you'll have to set the location for each machine you use... but generally you might only use a few and setting the location is pretty painless.
If you'd like to add my weather badge thing to your Netvibes page, you can do the following from your Netvibes page:

If you'd like to add my weather badge thing to your Netvibes page, you can do the following from your Netvibes page:
- Click top left "add content"
- External widgets > HTML
- Paste the code below into the window, name the widget, and add it to your page
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="300" height="175" id="2004Weather" align="middle">A cool thing about this now is when I upgrade the icons (they need a lot of work), you'll get them since you're pulling the SWF from my host. Oh, and there is a ton of data I am not displaying that I could. I might work some more in. Enjoy.
