Re: Photo placement on main page
I tweaked the image code, allowing text to flow around the image better, but at lower resolutions the image can still take up a bit too much space. It might help to get rid of the frame, or reducing the image to a width of 100px, like it is at Wikipedia.

I had the image float because it looked a bit odd just sitting there on top, left-aligned. – Mxn 05:23, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Weather
G'Day,

I used the BBC World Weather continent pages to grab that weather info. For example, the one at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/australasia/

I sort of just flicked through them. I think that perhaps a daily update, with one "point" for each continent is a good thing to have. Unfortunately, BBC World's information is given graphically, so it will be difficult to program a script to render it into text. I've had a look around for other, similar sites, which give a continent-by-continent breakdown, and there don't seem to be any others.

So, in the short-term, I guess it'll have to be done by hand. I've got a few ideas for ways we could possibly get regional breakdowns by scraping city weather forecasts, but they're quite lengthy, and quite boring too ;-)

Vandalism
I think I got the majority of it. There are no other admins besides Jimbo and Eloquence, although I am up for election on the adminstrator page. Lyellin 03:33, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
