A number that distinguishes the page from anther. This number will appear (in
parentheses) next to or below the site name on the site information page, for

from any other user.

location of the weather station and other details related to the requested webpage operation. After
completion of setup the message “Site Created!” appears.

Make sure that you are (still) logged to the
WOW web. If you have been logged off,
login again. Now click on “My Sites” in the
navigation panel at the top. If you have only
1 “network”, its page is displayed. If you
have more, you have to select the correct
one. On this page you will find the site ID
directly beneath the map (see the image on
the right).
