If you look back through this thread, you'll see that there is now a version of SuperDateTime available which uses wunderground.com's API. It requires you to get an API key, which is free if you sign up as a developer. The easiest way to install this version of SDT is to add the repository into your settings/plugins page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/superdatetimewu/files/repo.xml I've added some additional features as well... there is moon information (phase, rise/set times), and the ability to display in different languages. Hope this helps!
