Well just spent about 3 -4 hrs trawling the internet looking for some more widgets for this blog and came across quite a few I liked :
Added a widget that displays the weather for your location, so now my blog readers can actually see that it does rain alot in Manchester and it’s not me exaggerating
WeatherIcon :
Authors Spiel
This plugin displays the current weather conditions on your blog by querying the NOAA website. It also includes “widget” support for WP-Dash and the WordPress Sidebar plugins. Configure the plugin on the Options > WeatherIcon page. That page also contains detailed configuration information and links to testing routines. Plugin made possible with contributions by Midwestern City Boy, Ross Crawford, Jeremiah Polling, TechGnome, and Beel. By Garett Harnish and Viper007Bond.
Also added a Translation tool created by a clever little 18yr old from the states :
Translate
Adds a sidebar widget to display languages into which you can translate your blog. By Trevor Creech.
You’ll also have noticed I’ve re-installed the calendar on the blog and also changed the theme as the other one wasn’t exactly thrilling to the eye, to be honest neither is this one, but I prefer it to the last theme
