feat(seo): strengthen integrations internal linking + drop public status link (#178)
- Add "Integrations" to the top nav on the landing page and all 17 SEO pages
  (targeted at the nav Compare→Sign-In boundary; breadcrumbs untouched).
- Contextually cross-link the 6 integration spokes from the what-is and
  open-source guides (YouTube/RSS/Weather/Google Slides/Canva/Power BI) — each
  spoke now has 5 inbound links instead of hub-only.
- Remove the public "Status" footer link to /api/status from landing.html
  (endpoint stays for the admin panel + healthcheck; just not advertised).

<h1>Weather Widget for Digital Signage</h1>
<p class="lead">ScreenTinker has a native weather widget. Set a location, optionally a timezone, and it shows current conditions on screen - a lobby-board staple next to a clock and your main content.</p>
<h2>The short version</h2>
<p>The weather widget is built in. You configure a location and, if you want, a timezone, and it renders current conditions on the display. It is most often placed in a multi-zone layout alongside a clock and a main content area to make a clean reception or lobby board.</p>
<h2>Step by step</h2>
<ol>
<li>Open the <strong>Content Library</strong> (or the layout editor) in your ScreenTinker dashboard.</li>
<li>Add the <strong>Weather</strong> widget.</li>
<li>Configure it with your <strong>location</strong>, and optionally set a <strong>timezone</strong>. The widget renders current conditions for that location.</li>
<li>Add the widget to a <strong>Playlist</strong>, or place it in a zone of a multi-zone <strong>layout</strong> next to a clock and your main content.</li>
<li>Publish and <strong>schedule</strong> the playlist or layout, then assign it to one or more screens.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Tips &amp; use cases</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pair it with a Clock.</strong> ScreenTinker's native Clock widget plus the weather widget is the classic lobby combo - people glance up for the time and today's conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Reception and lobby boards.</strong> A multi-zone layout with weather in a corner, a clock, and a main zone for announcements or a welcome message makes a polished front-of-house display.</li>
<li><strong>Set the location correctly.</strong> Configure the location for where the screen physically lives so staff and visitors see local conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Set the timezone when it matters.</strong> If you run screens across regions, set the timezone so a paired clock and any time-based content line up with the local site.</li>
<li><strong>Keep it as a supporting element.</strong> Weather works best as a small, always-there widget in a zone rather than a full-screen item - it complements your main message instead of competing with it.</li>
<li><strong>Multi-site fleets.</strong> Give each location its own layout with the local weather so every site's board feels local, all managed from one dashboard.</li>
</ul>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Is the weather widget built in?</h3>
<p>Yes. Weather is a native ScreenTinker widget. You configure a location (and optionally a timezone) and it renders current conditions - no third-party embed required.</p>
<h3>What do I configure?</h3>
<p>A location, and optionally a timezone. That is enough for the widget to show current conditions on screen.</p>
<h3>Can I show weather and a clock together?</h3>
<p>Yes. The Clock is also a native widget. Put both into a multi-zone layout - weather in one zone, clock in another, main content in a third - for a lobby or reception board.</p>
<h3>Can I show different weather on different screens?</h3>
<p>Yes. Configure a layout per location with that site's location set, then assign each layout to the screens at that site.</p>
<h3>Does it work on all ScreenTinker players?</h3>
<p>Yes. The weather widget runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player - all free.</p>
