Catching up on the blog today with a cup of hot tea. I’m admiring the weather cloud rotating and raining at the top of the WSB page. How fun! :)

Lynda, I agree with you on the weather cloud thingy! It has been a great new add-on to the updated site.

The way I’m situated in my apartment, i’m unable to see sky, unless I go right over to the window, and even then my view is limited. So, unless it’s raining rather hard, I can’t tell if it is doing so or not.

Having the little cloud, showing not only the temp, but what the weather is actually doing at any given moment, comes in real handy.

Glad to be helpful/amusing. With most (but not all) fixes made, I’m hoping to write that “guide to WSB” list someday soon … there are many features some might not have discovered, like the ability to include images in comments (snow days – if we ever see them again – were my primary motivation for that, so people could share “what it looks like here” without having to run photos through the editorial/e-mail bottleneck, but we’ve already seen some other creative uses) – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
