My UK Weather Site

Finally after 7 months of battling to learn some basic hmtl and how to get WD uploaded I have now achieved my goal and can launch my first official website :smiley:

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/jcoxell/index.html

Iā€™ve just got to work out how to get some photoā€™s in there now :stuck_out_tongue:

cool!
good for you :slight_smile:
i see you are using the option to use jpg images?

also, the data from the ws2500 is looking OK :slight_smile:

Thanks Brian yes the data has been fantastic of late ever since the wake up thing has been put in its been as regular as clockwork :smiley:
Yeah I used the jpg images because I have next to no knowledge of hmtl and it seemed the easiest way to do it. Iā€™m learning along the way though so hopefully I can make something a bit more technical as I go along.

Oh Brian I do have a question, do you have a banner for WD anywhere I can add to the page?

Ohmigod a PINK website, better not let my wife see that or she will want one too :lol:

This is wxbanner.jpg and you should find it in your wdisplay directory (or you can save it from here).

looking at the screenshot image the LaCrosse WS2500 is only sending data to WD every 15 minutes??? Or am I imagining things - the graphs look quite ā€œsteppyā€ - if that is a word! :slight_smile:

hi yes, the WS2500 console weather station is really a step into the dark agesā€¦for data storate ā€¦but yet the console itself is nice
you gota wonder about la crosse

Thanks for the banner, Iā€™ve not worked out how to code it in the page though so you click on it and it take you there so thereā€™s just a normal link in there for now :oops:
The images are now in gif format so it loads a lot quicker, didnā€™t realise jpg made the files so big!

Oh and I sussed out how to change the background colour too :lol:
Yep looks like Iā€™m doomed to a blocky chart unless I change my AWS :wink:

[quote=ā€œDottyā€]didnā€™t realise jpg made the files so big![quote]
atleast it is not .tiff file :lol: (they are like 15 x as big :wink: )

Thanks for the banner, I've not worked out how to code it in the page though so you click on it and it take you there so there's just a normal link in there for now :oops:
[code:1][/code:1] :wink:

looking real flash Justine :slight_smile:
with the jpg, you can set a less than 100% quality , and that reduces the file size
but gif is just as good in alot of cases :slight_smile:

tip:
you can use the command to get images centered on the screen

its great to see the ws2500 working so well for youā€¦after all our hard work!

i notice you have My Town for the station name in the summary image and icon setupā€¦you can set that in the summary image and icon setup,ā€¦or is wd not remembering/setting that (a few other people have reported thatā€¦any errors under view, program error log?)

Good grief Vergil I already had people moaning because I was posting up huge images :lol:

Thanks very much Niko I finally got there :roll:
If anyone mentions ā€œwomen and technologyā€ Iā€™ll thump them :stuck_out_tongue:

you remind me of my wide, dottyā€¦she doesnt hesitate to thump me!
i gotta run and milk someone elses cows!

you remind me of my wide, dotty...she doesnt hesitate to thump me! i gotta run and milk someone elses cows!
your WIDE!!!!! :lol: she is really going to thump you now :P

Thanks Brian yeah there is still errors in the error log I can send them if you want?

The summary is ok so long as I leave the settings alone, as soon as I go in and alter something the title comes back up again. I thought Iā€™d leave the title blank seeing as the location is plastered at the top of the page anyway.
Ah thanks for that I did try and centre the summary image earlier its all a bit on the left isnā€™t it :lol:

oh, that was an unfortunate typo!
LOL!
I meant wife!

yes, email what appears in the program error log at start up

LOL Iā€™m not surprised she thumps you! :stuck_out_tongue:

Error log sent :slight_smile:
