I'm having problems getting the new weather.com weather
magnet to work on my site.

I've used a previous version with no problem for several
years. Now that version is expiring and I can't get the
new one to work.

Has anybody had any experience with this?
 
Make sure you paste the code into notepad first, then into FP in HTML view.

Also, make sure you change the ZIP-HERE or whatever it says in the code they
sent you to your actual zip code.
This is the code from a site I'm a building;

Notice the zip code there.... 32541
HTH!

The effect is lost in broadband, it all loads at once.

You should really be using text, not putting your text all in images. This
kills you with search engines... they have nothing to read. Also it is very
annoying to someone who might want to print a portion of your page for
reference.
 
Chris,
Thanks very much for the kind words. There was no specific intent for it to
load that way. :)



Victoria,
The use of images as text instead of text on that page gives a waaaaaaay more
professional and clean look. Search engines were not our goal with that site.
Further, there is nothing on that page that anyone would need to print. All of
the information is in text inside the site.
I've been doing this a long time, know all the in's, out's, pros, cons, etc. of
text vs. images, blah blah blah.... search engines, ranking, indexing, and most
importantly responding to client requests as to their specific needs.

Good luck to you!!

Tim

I heartily disagree with you, but won't argue the point further.

Wrong... If I were interested in this resort, I might want to highlight and
print (print selection) the address and telephone numbers.
 
OK Victoria. You're right, you should be teaching us all how to design
websites.
