Did you ever clicked on an ADD on the accuweather website ?
I think they hoped for more add income from the RM users.

I put a accuweather banner on my skins and a link below them that points on accuweather website and information about weather on the location skin user use it.

I use ADB, script block and flash block on firefox so any banners if they are are removed, i alwaya brows photos on accuweather, as for their commercials i never click those

and they could add us here http://www.accuweather.com/downloadcenter.asp
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images

This is a great find, and I will mention this to them as well.

Actually I do: at least once a day.
I know that the redirect to an ad page is enough for some revenue to AccuWeather, but also that purchases made will garner them greater revenue.

I think that if every member clicked a single add per day, even through the link at the bottom of the forum, and followed one ad link and allowed it to remain up for just 30 seconds, shoot, this may not be an issue. But this is not the Rainmeter way, and I will not require this of any User!

EDIT:
the RSS feed is harder to use than I toucht.
everything is written on one single line.
