      Try finding errors with

      npm run config:check
      

      to find errors in the config.

      You can also use online tools like jslint.com (past your code there)

      You need to remove commas in line 19 and 54
      and need to add one in line 59.

      …and maybe even more.

        and your indentation is messed up making it more difficult to find errors.
        You may have too much curled brackets.

            I prefer jshint.com
            In this case you missed a single comma in line userlon, so it should be:

            		userlat: "47.302604", //MUST HAVE BOTH
            	        userlon: "-122.33621",  //MUST HAVE BOTH
            		zip: "98023"

              This really is way better! Great! Doesn’t complain about tabs for indentation which is annoying with the other tool.

                Thank you guys! I will try using those sites. Didn’t know they existed. Oh man. Would that be a help. Another question, for d ample, the compliments and weather module, when I change it in the config, do I have to change it in the module folder as well? Adding more compliments and such?

                  @anhanyoung Every module is designed in a way that you don’t have to mess with the module files (MMM-*.js, node_helper.js) themselves.
                  Otherwise, if you’re not common with git, you will run into problems as soon as you want/need to update the module.
                  So always try to use config/config.js, css/customs.css or external files for tpurposes like these. In most caeses it’s described in the Readme of the config or here in the forum.

                    No, you only need to change it in the config.js, or in the external json. The module file contains default values that will be overwritten by the values in the config.js or external files (e.g. for compliments)
