    Installation:

  1. Install via the WordPress plugin admin dialog (search for wp-forecast) or

     your themes sidebars or insert it manually and edit your template
     file and put the wp-forecast function where you want your weather
     data to show up.
     Example: <ul><li> <?php if(function_exists(wp_forecast)) { wp_forecast( <widget_id> ); } ?> </li></ul>

     You have to replace <widget_id> with the choosen widget id.
     For the first widget use wp_forecast(“A”), for the second
     wp_forecast(“B”) and so on.
     In most cases it is advisable to put the call into a div environment.
