Request for Widget

Pollen count

Published on May 7, 2005 By black_udder In Requests

Just thought it would be interesting to have a pollen count widget. Pollen.com shows 4 days of pollen count (so you know when you're going to be hosed). Goes of zip code so I'm guessing it might be similar to the weather widgets.

Anybody up for making one?

I'm lucky I can use widgets, let alone make them.

I looked at the site . . . I'm no developer but I like tinkering.

THe site doesn't have a feed for the information. It also doesn't show the raw data. It's shows an image.

Most good sites for widget-izing fave RSS feeds or structured HTML that can be parsed.

You might try looking for a pollen site with that more structured data.
