 * I spent a considerable amount of time working with this widget but now the weather
   comes in and out. I have it set to grab locations based on geolocation and even
   a fallback ip address location. Unfortunately every other day I come in the dashboard
   does not show any information. I am in the same location, so it should be pulling
   the same information. I have also checked the data I am passing to it and it 
   spits out the correct format and everything.
 * My question would be how can we fix this or possibly use a different information
   database. If I can’t get this working I will have to either edit this massively
   or use a different plugin.
 * Also if you are interested I do have the code that you can use to get the users
   location. It’s not polished but I heard other people asking for it.

 * I am working on a Premium version right now that pulls in the weather from the
   users location and a few other nice items. I do have plans for the premium version
   to pull data from different weather sources.
 * Openweathermaps is nice because you don’t have to sign up for anything to use
   it, it’s a free source. Most other places will want you to sign up before it 
   works which is an extra step for the regular user and would probably keep people
   from using the plugin all together.
 * You may want to incorporate the OpenWeatherMaps APPID.
    [http://openweathermap.org/appid](http://openweathermap.org/appid)
 * This will be an option in the premium version because they say “we can guarantee
   availability and accuracy of weather data”.
 * Do you have any type of Transient clearing plugin installed? The weather data
   is stored in a transient and maybe there is a conflict.

 * Well that is good news. I am not using anything like that. Thanks for the link
   and I wish you the best of luck with the premium widget.

 * For anybody checking out this post. Here is how you can find the City ID and 
   hopefully get some better reliability in your weather data:
