The Official WeatherBug Community

Backyard Integration

LOVE the Backyard Stations integration. I'm sure our users will too! Couple quick questions:

Should we have a "Backyard" tab with our Backyard Blog feed embedded in it so users can read the Backyard Blog inside WeatherBug 7? We can also link to the Backyard Community groups, photos, videos, etc., and encourage more members to participate in the Backyard Community from WeatherBug 7.

It'd be great if we could also link to our Backyard Stations section and even bake in our Backyard Publishing API into WeatherBug 7. That way if members needed a quick way to start sending us Backyard Station data without using another full-fledged application, they could download WeatherBug 7, signup their station, enter the data, and start sending us data. Just a quick and easy way to get more stations on the network.

Thanks!

I don't see where to get my backyard station. It's not listed, but is on the the mobile site.

You type in your Zip Code and it should be in the list of all the other stations. It's just like WeatherBug.com now. If you don't see it, let me know.

That would explain it! Please let me know when I can try again! It will be listed under 60410, Amberleigh Estates.

Thanks

Yeah, sure will. I know it's depressing. :-(

I can not see my weather station on the maps when I type in the zip code(06278); or using the new application. Also when I try to click on the FAQ's. I get messages that there are script errors, and the program closes.

Yeah, Backyard Stations are (unfortunately) broken for now. Seems you found another glitch with the FAQ's too. Thanks for the feedback!

Has there been any progress in the locating of Backyard sites in the new Weatherbug? No back yard stations show up.
