</li>
<li>
Upload to your plugins folder, usually <code>wp-content/plugins/</code>, keeping 
the directory structure intact (i.e. wp-forecast.php should end up 
in <code>wp-content/plugins/wp-forecast/</code>).
</li>
<li>
Activate the plugin on the plugin screen.
</li>
<li>
Visit the configuration page (<code>Options -> WP-forecast</code>) to pick the 
number of widgets, data to display and to change any other option.
</li>
<li>
Visit the Themes/Widgets page to place your wp-forecast widget within 
your themes sidebars or insert it manually and edit your template 
file and put the wp-forecast function where you want your weather 
data to show up. 
Example: <code><ul><li> 
 <?php if(function_exists(wp_forecast)) { 
 wp_forecast( <widget_id> ); 
 } ?> 
 </li></ul></code>
You have to replace <widget_id> with the choosen widget id. 
 For the first widget use wp_forecast(“A”), for the second 
 wp_forecast(“B”) and so on. 
 In most cases it is advisable to put the call into a div environment.
