  I want to put a weather plugin for my blog, but I’m not sure where the button is to do that. I can’t find it where is should be. Do I need a premium account to download any widget? or do i but each one separately?
  This is the plugin I want: http://wordpress.org/plugins/weatherbutton-widget-from-the-weather-network/
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot use plugins here on WordPress.com.
  Here are some weather widgets using gigya code which might work for you:

  BTW there is no wp.com upgrade that allows for plugins or ftp access. If you need those, then you’ll have to pay a host and use wp.org software.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I can’t find what’s supposed to go where in the code.

  <div style=’width: 180px; height: 150px; background-image: url( http://vortex.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/backgrounds/clouds_180x150_bg.jpg ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #;’ ><div id=’NetweatherContainer’ style=’height: 138px;’ ><script src=’http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/netweatherV2ex.asp?partner=netweather&tStyle=normal&logo=1&zipcode=NAM|CA|ON|BATH|&lang=eng&size=8&theme=clouds&metric=1&target=_self’></script></div><div style=’text-align: center; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 12px; color: #;’ >Weather Forecast | Weather Maps</div></div>

  Sorry, there is still something odd but this works anyway:

  <div style="margin-top:0;width:180px;background-image:url('http://vortex.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/backgrounds/clouds_180x150_bg.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-color:#BCDBF6;padding-bottom:10px;">
  [gigya src="http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/netwx-v28.swf" height="150px;" width="180px;" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars="partner=netweather&myspace=1&logo=1&tStyle=normal&zipcode=NAM|CA|ON|KINGSTON|&lang=eng&size=28&theme=1&metric=1" ]
