5. Visit the Themes/Widgets page to place your wp-forecast widget within your themes sidebars or insert it manually and edit your template file and put the wp-forecast function where you want your weather data to show up. Example: <ul><li> <?php if(function_exists(wp_forecast)) { wp_forecast( <widget_id> ); } ?> </li></ul>

   You have to replace <widget_id> with the choosen widget id. For the first widget use wp_forecast(“A”), for the second wp_forecast(“B”) and so on. In most cases it is advisable to put the call into a div environment.
