New WordPress Plugin: WS7 Weather Widget

One of the great local bloggers around Lichfield is Kevin Jones who, every day, uses his own weather station to provide a forecast for the area.

It’s a great service and one that we try and retweet through Lichfield Live. I wanted to provide our visitors with something more and so, after some collaboration with Kevin, I built a WordPress plugin that creates a lovely graphical widget that will sit in any WordPress sidebar to show today’s forecast, and link through to Kevin’s site for the full report.

You can see it in action on Lichfield Live and Burntwood Live and if you’d like to use it on your own site you can do so by downloading the zip file.

If you’re running a site in the local area, feel free to use it. It’ll update at around 7:10am every day. If you have any issues with it, or feature suggestions, let me know in the comments section below.
