Using Weathercode properly

Post by Mike_Rotch »

Im sure this has been asked a million times, but i have my weather code from weather.com (CAXX0342) and ive entered it where the document tells me to, but no matter what i do the weather skin doesnt show up properly. This is what the line looks like by default: Now im unsure what to do, can anyone help?

When using a weather code, make sure you're using the code from the RSS feed, not just the url after you type in your address.
Copy the whole RSS feed and replace that one.
Some weatherskins are outdated and do not have the updated url. (The prefix to the website has changed on many sites.)

I'm not a fan of weather.com...
But. Go here: http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/
Then type in your zip code for the Local Weather option.
Then... click xml? I think you use that one.

Yahoo! Weather:
Go to weather.yahoo.com and type in your zip code.
And click the RSS button, towards the top-middle-ish right.
Copy that url and replace the old one with it.

if you replace that xoap word with xml it will work the above url
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this
