I understand your point, don't be disappointed ;) As I said we are still in early dev stage and if you subscribe to the widget comments feed you will get the latest updates. I think it was a bit early to rate the widget by the way, but can't blame you for that ;) I had to publish the widget to perform a few tests On which platform(s) have you experienced problems to set the city (city "isn't showing")? You can contact me at "mohammade.check+SAWS@gmail.com" to discuss further issues and features. Thanks again for your help and feedback

I currently use accuweather's widget on my website as I want (especially) foreign visitors to see what wonderful weather we have. For this I will use Komatipoort's forecast - and that will thus have to be the default forecast. I sent an e-mail to SAWS some time ago, but the response was not good - I had to subscribe to a data feed that cost more than my entire monthly advertising cost! I was thus pleasantly surprised to see the widget, and then very disappointed. I would obviously rather use a "Proudly South African" widget. Where can we follow the development of the widget?

Hi there! Thanks for feedback but as you can see we are still in early dev stage (v. 0.1.5 alpha 5 - not even a beta) You already have many localities to select from the drop down select box in the "Edit" section. However if you use it on your website in the future, The locality will be selected by your visitors. But if many people actually ask for this specific feature (ability to set one unique locality for visitors) we will probably add it. Thanks anyway and do not hesitate to contact me for further information and feedback (always welcome :))

At last there is a South African weather widget... As much as I would like to use it, it is not much use as you have to select the locality, which then isn't shown! (Look at the sample above - is it for cape town or Johannesburg?) I want to add it to my website, but then I want it to show the weather forecast at my locality!
