    Notes

    This is the first major upgrade of CO2Now widget code since September 2008 when CO2Now.org was launched with about a dozen widgets.  The main benefits of this 2010 upgrade include:

    • enhancements in internal widget processing and management 
    • enables future expansion of existing widget offerings
    • enables fortified widget reliability over the long term
    • enables the availability of widget code (and widgets) that work on secure intranets and websites with an SSL certificate

     

    Users of CO2Now widgets with original code (ie. installed before October 2010) are encouraged to upgrade, especially if it is convenient to make the change.  Widgets with original code will continue to display the world's latest data for atmospheric CO2.
