I’ve been using this hacked up WP theme for a couple of months now and I decided to tar it up in the off chance someone else wants to see it. It’s heavily based on Borderline Chaos which is based on Benevelonce which I think is a Kubrick derivitave. Anyways, here it is: Rob’s BC 1.0
Weather Report integrated

I’ve integrated WeatherReport into the site. I had to do a fair amount of hacking around a couple of issues:
- First, I had issues with the DB access. I keep fairly restrictive access to my backend DB and I had add a specific premission for weather report. I’m not sure why this was needed, but it resolved the issue.
- Second, I had much pain and suffering around the CSS needed to make it appear to ‘belong’ in the ‘Silver is the new Black’ style I use. I ended up with a set of #weather CSS tags that seem to get the job done, but not exactly how I wanted. My neophyte status with CSS is showing though, but it was a good learning experience. I assumed that I could sub a #id with new properties and they would override the stuff above it, that doesn’t seem to always be the case.
