Weather App

So this is going to be my first technical blog. I created a simple weather app that is supposed to show the weather in a city that is entered into the search bar. I'm still struggling with the JavaScript and am not sure why the app isn't working the way I'm expecting it to.

I set up a fetchWeather call to go to openweathermap.org to get the weather. However, it's not fetching the weather. I've tried using the link that was provided and entering the API key but I've not had any luck with it. I'm not giving up or admitting defeat just acknowledging that I'm not sure how to get it to work.

The thing that does work is the HTML and CSS. I also got the greatest feeling of accomplishment from those once the app was "done". The "A-hah!" moments with each change was amazing. Figuring out which font to use and as well as background and colors, shapes and sizes was fun. Being able to see the changes in real time helped with those "A-hah!" moments.

While I can't say that I've enjoyed the JavaScript portion on the app I can definitely say I have enjoyed the HTML and CSS portions.
