Default Mobile Weather

Mobile weather, not the wet stuff zipping by overhead, but today I had a
play around with getting the Knaresborough Weather site onto the mobile
phone.
Phones need wml files, which are similar to html, and can be hosted on
ordinary http web servers. Weatherlink software is quite happy to
process a template (*.htx) file that is actually wml, and the final link
in the chain is that the resulting file produced by Weatherlink can be
uploaded to the web with any extension needed, in this case .wml.
Bingo. So point your WAP2.0 phone at
www.knaresboroughweather.co.uk/wap.wml
I've kept it very simple, as mobile bandwidth can be silly expensive.

What I'd really like, if anyone knows where to get it, is rain radar
images on the mobile.
