Adding a weather banner to your signature line.
This is how its done, in as simple a form as I can make it.
Go to Weather Underground, put in your zipcode. On your weather page, scroll down until you see "Free Weather Stickers® for Your Homepage!" Click that link.
That will take you to the Weather Banner page. Here's an example
Pick the banner you want, and click on it to show the code which will look like this:
Code:
<a href="
http://www.wunderground.com/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.html?bannertypeclick=big2">
<img src="
http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/big2_cond/language/www/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.gif"
alt="Click for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Forecast" border="0" height="60" width="468" /></a>
We need to select the important part of that code, NOT ALL OF IT. What we want is the URL to the weather banner graphic itself. We want the part right after src=" and ending in .gif
In the above example, that would be this:
Code:
http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/weathersticker/big2_cond/language/www/US/OK/Oklahoma_City.gifHighlight that portion, from YOUR weather banner page, and copy the text.
Go to your Profile:
Profile -> Forum Profile Information
Scroll down to the Signature line. We're going to paste that URL we copied earlier, but we have to add some IMG tags before and after it. Image tags look like this (the beginning and end)
Code:
So we paste in our code, with IMG tags at the beginning and end. It will look like this:
Code:
The result:
