 * We’ve added a new way to refresh your weather widget. Add the following parameter
   to your URL ‘clear_awesome_widget’
 * So if your weather widget is on a page [http://example.com/about/](http://example.com/about/)
   than you would turn that into [http://example.com/about/?clear_awesome_widget](http://example.com/about/?clear_awesome_widget)

 * Thanks. I’ve noticed that sometimes the widget just stops displaying altogether.
   Refreshing the widget with the above string brings it back, but is there a way
   to prevent it from disappearing in the first place?
 * Thanks,

 * I’m pretty confident it is the weather source. I’ll run a code audit on my plugin
   in a few weeks to make sure everything is hooked up properly. It may have to 
   do with our use of WordPress Transients. I’ll post again if I find something.

 * I am also experiencing the ‘disappearance’ act and interested in a fix before
   deploying. Is there any diagnostics information I can collect and provide to 
   assist?
