I actually like it a lot. Here's what I really like about it: Auto IP lookup. It pulls up exactly the city I would get using weather.com. Clean & Simple. You give me the information I want and get out of my way. Design. It's very well designed for what it is. ----- Here's what I don't like about it: The comments. They aren't really useful or relevant. I suppose if you ever gain "critical mass" this might start to be useful, but I have my doubts. There's no guidance as to what I should be saying and why. 4 day Forecast. I think this deserves a little more priority on the page. I also feel like a horizontal format is more appropriate, but go with your gut. What you've done now looks pretty damn good for a small project. Indentation. The text could use a little more structure than just indenting everywhere. This could just be nitpicky. URL. .info's make me cry. just find a small, 3-5 letter work that's easy to remember, tack it on to weather, and get the .com. I prefer to http://bustaname.com http://bustaname.com because my super-smart friend made it.

I don't expect to ever see critical mass on this so this is a problem. I think the comments are far more relevant if they are within a smaller range, maybe 10 miles would make them more useful. Regarding the forecast: for a weather site this site doesn't really show it very well; feedback well taken :)

  I actually think the comments could be useful for certain larger areas (so 50 miles instead of 10). Not only I live in an area with a lot of microweather (it can be pouring at my house and sunny at work, but both work and home are covered by the same weather station and are 15 miles apart); but also we have vog emissions (think like smog, but with natural causes) whose concentrations are highly variable. So I think there would be some interest in having people being able to report local conditions; for example on voggy days I try to find a playground in a clearer area of the county. Mind you, that's not a problem many people have :-)
