Weather Help!
Okay so i've downloaded the starlight desktop skin, and i'm having trouble customizing the weather to my location. I have seen a few different versions of the weather code to insert into the edit file. I'm also not 100% sure where, and which url, i should be using. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Weather Help!
I have no idea what skin that is, I see no link to it, I don't know where you live and I don't know from where the information is gathered.
Care to fill in those blanks so you can get some help?

I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Don't forget to change to your location, check weather.com for code.
In these instances it's always wise to contact the author directly so they can update their works.

Re: Weather Help!
thanks guys. I realized well after I posted that I left out a lot of information, so sorry about that. I've gone through and updated the url, and put in the correct code, and it works now. I think I was refreshing and reloading things incorrectly (i.e., rushing and not paying attention to what i'm doing). i'll make sure that any other questions have a lot more information contained. thanks for the help!
