Weather and Tranfic reports?

[budgy]

Hey guys, Im currently developing a new site, which will be used for the company head office, it will have the look and feel of the bbc site, and i want it to include some of the weather and traffic features that the bbc site has. I was thinking abt just linking to the bbc information, but has been told that its not best, my question is do you guys know of any way i can link in feeds of weather and traffic reports so that they are tune with my site, i've been told that xml is a possibility, do u guys know of any good sites which i could use as a reference, as always all the help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

One way to do it might be to subscribe to an RSS feed that supplies that informaiton. I don't know much about RSS other than it's a way to receive dynamic XML-based content. I doubt there are any free RSS feeds for traffic and weather, but you never know. Try googling RSS WEATHER or something similar.

Dubgy,

RSS feeds for free weather isn't that here in the US, don't know about the UK. Trafic is generally harder to find...

I'm guessing that he's from this city:

Not living in both US and across the pond...

Both of you are correct. Dublin California was indeed founded by Irish immigrants and has an Irish personality. We're gearing up for the annual St. Pat's Day bash right now.
