Simon’s Notes

If you’re the kind of blogger that likes adding nifty little devices to your blog, then you might want to check out BlogSkinny’s new weather widget. If you’re a little confused right now and maybe you’re not sure what BlogSkinny is, have no fear. BlogSkinny is a great service to help generate some traffic to your blog. You register with them free of charge, then you submit your blog to their database and if you like you can submit your blog to all the directories on their database as well. I know it works because its working for me. And you can get your peers to vote for your blog, and the higher SkinnyScore you have the better your chances are of getting more traffic.

Anyway, their latest cool blog addition is their weather widget. This widget allows you to display the weather in real time. There’s only one snag as far as I can see, its only available in the USA, so that puts me out of luck since I’m based in South Africa. But if you’re living in the US I would suggest you have a look at it, there are two display options, the first one is pretty simple, only showing the temperature and location, whereas the second widget shows everything from the condition to the amount of rain.

Personally I’m not a big fan of crowding your blog with widgets, but if your blog is still quite empty, then the weather widget might be something interesting to look at.

Get your free weather widget and personalize your blog.
