Weather Report Widget

Widgetizing your Blog is the new thing to explore here on Beautiful Beta. Ramani shows how to add random Einstein quotes to your Blog. Phydeaux3 started all this showing Flickr Puppies, and even Hoctro now shows a Flickr Zeitgeist widget. So it is time that Beautiful Beta follows these fellows, with a useful Weather Forecast Widget. And ofcourse a tutorial on how to create this widget on your own Blog and make it easy-to-install for your readers.

You have to follow 3 easy steps:

  1. Create the widget
  2. Add it to your Blog
  3. Add an Install-button to your Blog
Step 1: Create the Widget

Go to WeatherReports.com, scroll down and click Add WeatherReports To Your Site.
In the next screen, enter your city, select the colors and style of the weatherbox. After entering all your selections, you will go to the next screen automatically. Take a look at the preview, and select and copy the HTML-code.


Step 2: Add the Widget to your Blog

Add an new HTML page element to the sidebar of your Blog. Paste the code that you copied into the page element, and set its title to "Weather Report".


Don't save it yet, but go to step 3.

Step 3: Add an Install-button

Now we are going to add a button, that installs the widget on your visitors blog when it is clicked. In fact, we'll add a form with several input fields, but only the button will be visible. Here we go.

<form action="http://beta.blogger.com/add-widget" method="post">
<input value="Weather Report" name="widget.title" type="hidden"/>
<textarea style="display:none;" name="widget.content">

&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2" src="http://weatherreports.com/jscript.html?width=125&height=125&theme=brand&location=Amsterdam%2C%20Netherlands&units=c"&gt;</script>&lt;div><a href="http://www.weatherreports.com/"&gt;<small&gt;Free Weather Reports&lt;/small&gt;</a></div></textarea>
<input value="Install to Blog" name="go" type="submit"/>
</form>


The text between the <textarea>-tags is the html of your widget. Please notice that each < is replaced with &lt;, and that each > is replaced with &gt;.

Now save the page element and view your Blog.


For an example look here.

  1. Apex Weather is a new weather app from the developers of Apex Launcher, one of the best Android launchers. This weather app is above average. You get your basic stuff like the current, daily, and hourly forecasts. It also includes a weather map, severe weather alerts, and some of the better clock and weather widgets we've seen in a while. It even shows less common stuff like sunrise and sunset times, air pressure, UV index, and more. You can get weather forecasts in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia along with a rather bland news blog if you want one. The ads can be a tad annoying, but otherwise this weather app checks all of the boxes. You can also remove the ads with a single $5.99 payment.
