I have a personal weather station, and use weatherdisplay to upload data. I see the option in WD to upload a yowindow.xml file, but how can I make my station visible in the weatherstations list or map within YoWindow?

YoWindow can read the weather from Weather Display through a file, composed in a special format - YoWindow weather file (yowindow.xml).
You need to set up Weather Display to generate yowindow.xml using a template.
1. Click on this link to customyowindow.txt and save a copy of it to your C:\wdisplay\webfiles folder.
2. Open that file in notepad and read the comments at the top of the file. If you have no solar/UV sensors or are not manually inputting snow, remove those sections and save the file.
Next you need to set up yowindow.xml generation.
3. Go "Setup - YOWindow Setup - Create yowindow.xml in webfiles folder" and click Yes.
