A Bit Cooler Lately!

It's sure is nice to have the temps a bit cooler out these past couple of days! We even opened up the windows for a while! :-) The humidity and temps are going to be going up now, unfortunately, over the next few days. We should also see some rain and a few thunderstorms here and there. So I guess the air conditioner with have another workout!!!

Things I have added/changed:

  • US Temperature Map (Please let me know if you like it OR if it needs to be smaller OR just get rid of it!)
  • Moved some of the gadgets up from the very bottom, had some space to fill.
  • Also, the Google Call Me Widget is not working for some reason.. just FYI...

Rain...Rain...Rain!!!

So... is it just me, or are we getting a LOT of rain this year so far? Glad I don't have a basement to worry about right now :-) I have been enjoying the story weather though... just as long as I'm not going to or coming home from work and DRIVING IN IT!!

Things are getting better

I have been working with the developer on trying to fix the graph sizing issue that come up every now and then and I think we are at least on a good track.  Today he made another BIG change to the code and there for made a new version number (we are now at version 1.1.5 witch you can see at the bottom right of each graph).  In order to get the latest version, you must clear out your browser cache again.  After you do that, and then refresh the site, you will be up to date.

Things i've added/fixed today:

  • Graphs are now version 1.1.5 (MUST CLEAR OUT BROWSER CACHE TO GET UPDATE) 
  • Radar of the USA
  • Links to purchase weather gear (5 and 7 day forecasters, NOAA weather alert radios, etc..)
  • Google Analytics (For keeping track of how visits the site)
  • Fixed visiter counter at the bottom (image was wrong and count was off)
  • Deleted the "Your IP address" gadget (I thought is a bit tacky.. if you liked it, I will gladly put it back on :-)
  • Changed my Blogger profile picture
  • Added Picasa Weather Picture Album
More to come tomorrow!!!!

Quick update

I've added a few "Geo Visitor" links and Gadgets to the bottom of the site.  It will tell you how many people have been on and where in the world too!! Still working with the developer on the Graphs.  We are trying to figure out how to fix this and he has made a few changes to the code.  You should see the graphs load to full size.. a little bit more often now.  Sometimes only a refresh of the website is all that it needs.

ALSO.. Clear out your Browser Cache just once. He made a new version and you should see it go from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4.

My Graphs & Updates...

I have been talking with the developer of the Weather Station Graphs (At the Bottom) letting him know about the problem I have been having with the graphs not loading to there full height.  He has been REALLY Great! He updated the graph "CODE" and is trying to help me out! No luck just yet, well not 100% at least.  Can't seem to get the graphs to update to the new version and the little that I did play with the new version, it still seemed to do the same thing :-( Hope he can try and figure something out for me.

Other then that, I have added:

  • LIVE MOON and EARTH
  • RSS feeds about local happenings
  • SUNRISE/SUNSITE info
  • RSS feed button for Posts and Comments
  • Several more Weather Info Links
  • Local IP address to the bottom (Just for fun :-)
More to still come and/or change!!

A Lot has changed

Things are going well so far.  I have added a TON of new things and I still have a nice list to add yet (Thanks to Ben so far :-).  The Graphs are coming in sometimes a big messed up at the bottom, not sure why.  I would love to have some feed back if anyone had any.  It's 9:30pm now.... WAY past my bed time. Until tomorrow!! :-)

Learning new things!!

Well, after considering ditching Google Blogger, I gave it another shot to see if I could figure things out.  I DID!! I got it!

Things I added/changed:

  • Animated Radar maps 
  • Organized the site the way I want
  • Just found out I can adjust the widths of the columns
  • Centerd all my images (I had to learn a bit of HTML to do it :-).

I think I will be sticking with Blogger from now on! PLUS.. IT'S GOOGLE!! Gotta love that!!

Stay tuned..... MUCH more changes and additions to come!!

Now we are moving!!

Well, I found out how to add my Radar and Detailed Graphs. It was a bit tricky, but once I figured it out, it was NO PROBLEM! Now I'm going to play around with the design and find more things to add! Any and ALL feedback is GREAT!

UPDATE......
Well.. Scratch that one... the Radar and Graphs don't update... CRAP.... Back to the drawing board.....

The Start of Something New!

Well, i'm trying this again. I have been looking for a good way to get my weather station info out for everyone to see and use and have it ACTUALLY be easy and USEFUL for everyone other then my few very loyal nerdy fans (you know who you..LOL).

So this is now the "START" (again) of my very long endeavor...

Hope it proves to be useful. If not, back to the drawing board for me again!! :-)
