What exactly is not clear?
How far are you?
Have you downloaded the latest version of WDL and read the comprehensive manual?

Also this thread gives some hints how to implemented WDL and meteohub running together.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Based on your question about the evaluation part - you have to buy WD Live from:

http://www.weather-display.com/index.php

To utilize it you have to have your Meteohub upload your weather data via FTP to a webserver hosting your domain name. WD Live then sits on your webserver and extracts the data from the files that Meteohub uploads and gives you the dials etc based on the uploaded data....(all the files can sit in the same directory) It is a flash based program.... You don't need to buy the whole Weather Data program - just the WD Live portion. WD Live looks is configured on your local maching and an HTML and XML File is created in that program and uploaded to your web server. As far as I know - you cannot run WD Live on your Meteohub - if that is what your asking....

I just finished my site which I created just for my weather station... It is also a Joomla site and kept pretty small for fast uploads....

Meteohub has a few little quirks - but so far I think it's awesome and it takes the pressure off my PC and I can save some energy! This forum has also been a great resource in helping to get it up and running!

@kiofen: did you get it running?
If you buy a WD-live serial, you have to tell them the domain you use it for. I am not 100% sure if you you should use your dynamic dns name for this. However, if you registered for a wrong domain, you can switch this later on.

Julian Best is in general very helpful to get issues solved.
