I like your concept, but would prefer seasonal changes, not daily changes.
This new template would be the perfect Autumn scene.

Great work again, you've surpassed yourself!
Now, here's a challenge for you......
What about a website that changes it's look depending on the current weather conditions. So, if it's sunny outside, it uses a sunny template, if it's raining, it'll be grey and miserable looking, maybe at night it goes into a dark and moody look, snow will be very white etc...
Actually I've just realised, the idea is all very well, but those in hot sunny climates, it'd always be a sunny look, and those in more temperate climates, it would be often grey and miserable looking......
Ah well, it was just a thought.

Hi,
Seems that users like changing faces!
Sadly, 4 seasons template is lot more long to do, as I have
to do nearly 4 templates for 1 website.
Easiest way is to just put slideshow in header... but not as cute!
I put that idea around!

Sorry but i must say it....are we interested in weather data or pretty graphics...??
Surely the purpose of weather sites it to report the weather?
I am not really interested in seeing flashy images , cool colour schemes and animated gifs.
Stick to the basics - solid data and clear text....what else do we need??
Cheers..

Lol yeah pretty girls are always a good thing!!
But i stand by my comment.... there is too much emphasis these days on graphics...you only have to look at some of the computer 'aided' films that are churned out....they may look great but where's the story?
I think you can have both but it has to be really well thought out or it becomes an exercise in 'bling over content'!!
By the way i do understand each to their own and all that. Yes i may come across as an old fart!, but i believe in 'content over bling' personally...
Cheers
