Possible Bugs?
The custom graph rotation is very simple and does not check for permissions.
I am waiting for cigamit to add support for adding items to the edit graph pages so I can get it working fully.
Future Changes
Improve the way custom graphs are setup
Cycle through Weathermaps (I need to look into how Weathermap works)
Got any ideas then please let me know.
