Before anyone use this widget, we will be giving some significant reasons why you should use it too, mainly discussing about its function. Let’s assume a visitor from London, England landed on your site. Now this widget would fetch the data from local weather company and would provide its details accurate. Now if the day is sunny, rainy, cloudy and etc.
Demo of the widget can be seen here.
The solution:
The first thing you need to do is to login into your blogger dashboard. Now go to Template >> Edit HTML >> and search for the skin tag, just above it paste the following piece of CSS coding (you can customize the code if you like, but we are certain that the default one would just be right for everyone)..MyWeatherDiv .centerContainer {
width: 300px;
text-align: left;
margin-bottom: 200px;
}
.green {
color: #a6e22d;
}
.teal {
color: #66d9ef;
}
.purp {
color: #ae81ff;
}
.pink {
color: #f92772;
}
.yellow {
color: #e6db74;
}
.white {
color: #f8f8f2;
}
.grey {
color: #616161;
}
.f12 {
font-size: 12px;
}
.MyWeatherDiv img {
height: 64px;
width: 64px;
}
.weatherInfoRight {
z-index: 999;
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
.weatherInfoLeft {
z-index: 999;
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
.weatherInfoBottomRight {
z-index: 999;
position: fixed;
bottom: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
.weatherInfoBottomLeft {
z-index: 999;
position: fixed;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
.MyWeatherDiv {
display: none;
background-color: #272822;
padding: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.MyWeatherInfo {
text-align: center;
font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
color: white;
font-size: 14px;
}
#divMyImage {
display: none;
}
.MyWeatherClose {
font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
color: white;
font-size: 20px;
}
.MWTemperature {
display: block;
}
.MWPlace {
display: block;
}
.MWIP {
display: block;
}
#clear-day {
display: none;
}
#clear-night {
display: none;
}
#partly-cloudy-day {
display: none;
}
#partly-cloudy-night {
display: none;
}
#cloudy {
display: none;
}
#rain {
display: none;
}
#sleet {
display: none;
}
#snow {
display: none;
}
#wind {
display: none;
}
#fog {
display: none;
}
The second thing is to add the JavaScript file that does the work quite brilliantly. Within your blogger template search for the </head> tag and just above it paste the following JS Coding. (We recommend you to please host the script on your own either on Google Drive or any other service because our script might go down if our quota of bandwidth gets full).
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/137869302/weather.js"></script>
Lastly, add this styling javascript file just above the </body> tag. You can change the position of the gadget by replacing position: "right" to left or center. There are many other options for your customization, which could be useful to match your site’s setting.
<script type="text/javascript">
$.MyWeather({
position: "right",
showpopup: true,
temperature: "c",
closeicon: true,
showicon: true,
showtemperature: true,
showlocation: true,
showip: true,
size: 80,
iconcolor: "white",
fontcolor: "white",
}, function (e, f, g, a, d, b, c) {
$("#txtCity").html(e);
$("#txtCountry").html(f);
$("#txtIP").html(g);
$("#txtLatitude").html(a);
$("#txtLongitude").html(d);
$("#txtTemperature").html(b);
$("#picTemp").attr("src", c)
});
</script>
