First off, I’m new to all this stuff.  I’m not a programmer, but I am trying to understand the scripting going on here.  I found Matt Didcoe’s Weather.com Plugin for WordPress, but had issues with the graphics that it used.  For one, I thought they were a bit small.  Also, it seemed like many of the weather conditions were grouped together with the same graphic.  I looked into the weather.php file and saw how it grouped the different weather conditions.  Apparently, Weather.com uses numbered codes… 1-47 for different weather conditions (i.e. #19="Dusty" or #25="Frigid")  Some of the codes refer to night time while some refer to day time.  I also saw how the php script grabbed each graphic, by assigning the graphic name for a group of conditions.  The initial set of icons in the group are GIFs.  I found the set of icons included in Weather.com’s SDK were a bit more to my liking and already numbered based on the conditions.  These graphics are PNGs instead.  I did a little messing with the file and got it to work more to the way I wanted it to.
