Geektool for Dummies: Displaying Weather Images

This is going to be 9 minutes of learning how to tinker with one script, so be warned! Once again, if you need any help feel free to let me know, I'm all about helping the masses!

My weather script can be found here: http://cl.ly/9r9w

Note if you downloaded my weather script before 3:30 PM on 12/3/09, the script has a mistake in it, so redownload! Deepest apologies!

@cheesefish90 Maybe you should check out the link I was kind enough to provide...

Hi,

Your weather script states =YOUR_AREA_CODE&u=c when it should state =YOUR_ZIP_CODE&u=c

[CoolEnufForaMac]

@3Tabernacles Actually the script is correct, albeit badly worded, I'll give you that. It doesn't require a zip code, but a code for your area (hence the poorly worded "area code") that you get from Yahoo!.

Thanks for this great video!

But i have a question...every time i turn on the computer the image is gone and i have to do all over again. Any sugestion?

[CoolEnufForaMac]

@MafaldaMarques A lot of people have been asking me about this, but I personally haven't experienced it. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall Geektool on my computer to see if I can see what everyone is talking about, but as of right now I don't know why it would be doing that.

Hey, I have tried this several times. I am not sure why it is not working. Yahoo has changed their weather page could this be the problem?
