I'd like to build some sort of weather display into my current theme (a la Samurize). I'm not really sure how to go about doing it. As far as I can tell I need a couple of things:
1. Some sort of feed that gives me the weather as a simple text string.
2. A module for reading that feed.
3. A way of setting the image of a label based on that feed.
As for 2, I know there's a module for aggregating RSS feeds.
As for 3, I should probably be able to do it with mzscript.
I guess my problem is that I don't know what kind of feed to use or where I could get such a feed. And then whether or not I can feed that to an LS module.
Am I going about this the right way? Any suggestions as to what/were I should get my weather info?
Thx.
