For those who either really want or need to show weather data for some location (anywhere in the world), or those just looking for a nice, easy dropin to make a chunk of frequently changing text for their site pages, the free "Weather" (http://seo-toys.com/weather-seo-tool/weather-tool.shtml) dropin has now been completely revised.
The chief changes from the old--and now severly deprecated--version are two: one, a new and, we hope, very much more reliable provider of the raw XML data is being used; and two, the data files are now fetched in the background and cached, so when the dropin is called, it is just reading a local disk file, so response time is drastically improved.
