## Description

Adds the Weather to your site. The weather app is avaliable as both a widget and
a shortcode. If you have any problems or questions please email me at [alex@dobsondev.com](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/dobsondev-weather/alex@dobsondev.com?output_format=md).

**Widget**

To get the Widget working, simply go to Appearance -> Widgets and drag the “DobsonDev
Weather Widget” to where ever you want it to display. Inside the widget you simply
need to fill out the City/Town you want the weather for. The City/Town should be
in the format of Town or City, comma, then the country code. For example, New York
would be location=”New York, US”. Click save and the widget will then display the
weather on the front end of the site.

**Shortcode**

[weather location=”City/Town, CC” align=”align”]

This Shortcode will embed the weather app into your page. Be sure to replace the
above code with information pertaining to you. The location should be in the format
of Town or City, comma, then the country code. For example, New York would be location
=”New York, US”. The alignment is where you want the shortcode to be aligned to.
This works the same way as the WordPress image alignments, so your choices are “
right”, “left”, or “center”.

**API Key**

Please note that this plugin DOES use an API to get the weather and you do have 
to supply your own API key (the key is free with paid versions for high traffic).
The API used for this plugin is [Open Weather Map](http://openweathermap.org/). 
You can register for an API key here: [http://openweathermap.org/register](http://openweathermap.org/register).
