How about putting the weather up on the heading?

I was thinking about that. I did not think people really cared.

I hate to keep pushing Firefox (I will try and make this the last plug, Honestly, I don't work for them) The have an add-in that displays the weather on the bottom right hand tool bar of your browser. Since it runs in the status pane next to the security icon it doesn't take up any extra real estate on your screen like some search tool bars do.

Just an FYI, most people only use IE since it is what is bundled with their computer, about 4 or 5 years ago I made it mandatory at my work that everyone must use Firefox and we have had a lot less computer problems.

It's kind of like a Mac(no offense meant) that if you were a computer hacker why waste time on a machine that is not used as much, the same goes for browsers. Windows and IE are by far the most popular so that is what hackers target.

ya ya... I have thought about a Mac but none of my current software would work. And I have some friends that are Mac users that will secretly tell me they have computer issues as well. (Although nobody will ever admit Mac's have problems in public) When I was looking at one I was thinking, "why is the standard warranty only 60 or 90 days and the extended warranty was a few hundred dollars... I thought these were supposed to be bullet proof..."

Actually I think Mozilla works on a Mac as well. But if I remember right, I think Safari has plug-ins to their browser to do similar features?
