So, I did a BBC Weather iGoogle gadget last year. It was kind of nice, but
sadly people are actually, um, using it - with over 20,000 impressions a
day. Yikes. Think of the bandwidth and hassle that's causing my little
server.

So I've totally rewritten it, to sit on Google's own servers and work
entirely through JavaScript. So, I'd appreciate feedback on...

(add this to your iGoogle by hitting "add gadgets" (top right), then "Add
feed or gadget" at the bottom of the left-hand menu, and finally pasting
that in). Use the change settings button to choose a town near you.

If people don't see any hideous bugs (I can't test this in MSIE yet), then
I'll do some redirection shortly to the many users of my current gadget. And
add a BBC News one. And possibly even a BBC Music one! ;)
