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 added the same for my website he
http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/live.php (note, that that page is
definately a WML page, even though it has a php extension!).
Or, if you have a phone that can show ordinary web pages (like mine),
then
http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/mobile/ is probably better. That
also works in normal browsers.
Very useful for a check at the pub before the half-hour walk home to see
whether a quick Scotch is required for internal warmth
