 * Hi guys – hoping you can help me with this. Currently customizing my blog and
   I’d like to insert a little weather widget in the sidebar. The code is:
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://www.weatherchannel.com.au/Magic94scripts/mgrqispi94.dll?appname=WC&prgname=WOYS&Id=3904″></script&gt](http://www.weatherchannel.com.au/Magic94scripts/mgrqispi94.dll?appname=WC&prgname=WOYS&Id=3904″></script&gt);
 * But I have no idea how to tailor that so it’ll function in the sidebar file –
   anyone help, or is this sort of thing not possible?
 * Cheers

 * You might try using the WordPress Widget Plugin but that could require ‘widgetizing’
   your Theme.
 * In the Codex article, [WordPress Widgets](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/WordPress_Widgets),
   there is a Resources section that has links to the widget download and information
   on making your theme wigdet capable. There’s also a list of Themes that are already
   widget capable as well as a list of Widgets.

 * You can generally edit sidebar.php in your theme folder. Or, install widgets 
   as MichaelH suggested. If you install widgets, you can add a text widget (already
   available with the basic install) and put your javascript in there. It’s that
   easy.
