Ive been thinking about this for some time and now i think its time to build my own weather website with weatherdata from my weatherstation.
I really have no experience with it.
I have seen i got webspace available from my internet provider 200 mb.
I dont know if thats enough or not?
Ive heard about filezilla as a free ftp upload program (is that a good one or other adviced?)and a know the adress of my homepage on which to put the weatherdata
Are you using Weather Display? Do you have any experience with HTML? WD comes with sample pages you can use and will ftp them for you. 200 mg should be fine, any limits on how much you can upload? Typically weather pages are uploaded every 10 minutes. You can edit pages with something as simple as note pad but not word pad or other text editor that do not save as a pure text file.
Yes im using WD.
No i havent got experience with html :oops:
Upload limits i really dont know.
Im using filezilla at the moment but as soon as i connect with my host, username, password and Port nummer i get the message shown in the picture.
Not sure if i can proceed savely after this message

Bedankt voor je reactie en tips.
Ik ga er eens naar kijken.
Volgens mij moet KPN mijn homepage nog activeren.
Ik krijg een foutmelding 530 in filezilla.
Ik heb de vraag gesteld op KPN forum.
Bedankt.
Translation from above:
Hi Wim, Thank you for your response and tips. I’m going to look at it. I think KPN still needs to activate my homepage. I get an error 530 in filezilla. I asked the question on KPN forum.
I fully support your desire to build your own, but you could start by installing one of the exellent weather site templates available from Wim and others.
As a start you could set WD to create and FTP its own default weather page at regular intervals which is just HTML of weather data and some images. But advise against WD uploading the daily graphs as 200MB would soon be used up.
Yes I think (Brian can confirm) that is the “Carterlake style” version of a webpage WD can upload.
The default one is more basic and is how I started out.
WD has an html page that should work for you as Martyn suggested, but it’s no longer the default. There should be some instructions which I will try to find. Unfortunately with limited storage, no php, and I suspect strict limits on frequency of FTP uploads, your ISP free site is only really intended for posting pictures of your cat/dog/hamster - but we can give it a try
