Hello!
Here you can find detailed how-to:
http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Sidebar_gadget
From the article, with little modifications:
Copy the realtime.xml file into your Cumulus folder on your PC
Within Cumulus click Configuration, Internet, then the 'Files' tab
Add a new entry in one of the blank lines.
Local filename is the full path and filename of realtime.xmll
Remote filename can be anything however it should be the path to your HTML files and a filename, ending in XML.
You must tick 'Process', 'FTP' and 'Realtime' to allow Cumulus to add values to the file and upload it.

Hmmm.... Strange. What's the version of Cumulus?
With the latest stable release (1.9.0) everything is ok.
Can you send me a screenshot, please? (joesalty77 AT gmail DOT com)
At home, a couple of hours later, i will check it.

Hi,
As I have two stations in two different locations how about an option were you can add another realtime.xml file rather than having to manually alter the link each time you want to view the other stations readings.

Working very nicely for me, thanks.
It would be cool to have the wind compass rotate to match true orientation, as per other compass apps.

Can you explain this? Because now I can't understand what you men on compass rotate.
Do you want to rotate the compass when you turn the phone?

Yes, so North always points to north as the phone rotates, instead of towards the top end of the phone. In that way, the wind indicator will point to where the wind is actually blowing from.
