This is a LIVE weather forecast widget pulling data for the zipcode you input. We've had this in testing for a while, it kinda got put on the backburner while we got stuck picking a final design.

The appearance is subject to change, and in that event no additional action is required. It will just use the same code, so we might as well start using some of these.

You'll notice the weather icon from the post editor screen:

42306


And here's what the code looks like before it's posted:

84401

It's very simple, just plug the desired zip code in between the "weather" brackets and you've got a 5 day forecast from accuweather.

84401


Like I said, the appearance of this widget is subject to change, maybe even a simpler view but a 7-10 day forecast perhaps. But any previous posts will be automatically updated.

KNOWN ISSUE - If you have 2 of these same widgets on the same page in bogley, the 2nd one will not show correctly.
