This is pretty straight forward plugin that takes your locally infor- mation and produces a set of sunrise, sunset and twilight data.
- You need to know how many hours your time zone is from Greenwich Mean Time. There is a feature for selecting Daylight Savings Time (DST), but this must be done manually when your location makes the shift. Because of different DST practices and occassional changes made by the governments, I did not try to code DST changes. This can be found at many time zone sites, like http://www.worldtimezone.com/ and http://www.time.gov.
- Also, you have to be able to input your decimal degrees latitude and long- itude. Google Earth can be set up to get this.
I am using this widget on my own blog and intend to for the long-term. So, I think it is reasonably safe. There is very little error trapping for entering the wrong values in the admin window on the widgets page. If you have issues with the plugin, or ideas for improvements, please let me know.
I'll see what I can do.
