Meet mid-Missouri’s weather forecasters [INTERACTIVE] (Part 1)
By ANDREW GIBSON
Eleven posts into this blog, I still haven’t written about mid-Missouri’s TV weather forecasters.
Until now.
I’m making an interactive graphic to show what stations they work for and how to reach them on Twitter. It’s about 80 percent complete: You’ll notice the hovering box doesn’t yet stay up long enough to click the Twitter links. I’ll add a follow-up post within the next four weeks that links to the finished product.
Why couldn’t I finish this in one sitting? Well, it’s a hand-coded Web page with two JavaScript functions. What’s more, what you see is my first stab at creating a map in Illustrator. After nearly six hours of work (it’s 4:01 a.m. right now), I figured it was time to sleep.
Here’s the link. WordPress doesn’t let me include iframes, so I have to send you elsewhere to view the map.
