I wanted to try copying and pasting the information shown below to replace the current details in there as a test to get it working. I’m yet to be success full. So I copy the info below and copy and past it over the details already in the file for current weather, but for some reason each time it just re-copys whats already in there New York, instead of replacing it with Amsterdam,Netherlands and all the other info. It seems to paste everywhere else but not in that folder.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any help would be gratefully appreciated.</p>

<p dir="auto">You presume incorrectly. That is an example. You need to go to <code>openweathermap.org</code> and sign up for your own API key. Get your locationID there at the same time. Enter those into your config</p>

<p dir="auto">To test things out and to get things working you mentioned I needed an api key. So I went to the section information in the module set up a copy and past there example presuming that would be a working one.</p>
<pre><code>{
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
									// Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
		}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But unfortunately nothing happens, I thought if I was to simply post there code in replacement for mine to test it as above it would work. :-(</p>

<p dir="auto">If I had to guess, I’d say that your use of nano to edit your config.js file is at fault. There is an easier way to edit your config.js file that doesn’t require the use of nano, or even the terminal, at all. Straight out of this tutorial:<br />
