 === Usage of the {{{csml2kmlpylon}}} web service ===
 
+Assuming that the pylon is served at URL ''{{{http://server:port}}}'', the web service can be used in two ways:
+ - Using the {{{list}}} sub-service to provide a listing of CSML features available for a given station:
+{{{
+http://server:port/csmlGrapher/list?dataset_id=DATASET_ID&station_name=STATION%20NAME
+}}}
+   The "dataset" here refers to an URL of a WFS server from which station data can be fetched. Each station is identified by its name (e.g. "{{{FAIR ISLE}}}", rather than station ID (e.g. "{{{midas.station.3}}}"); this is due to how our GeoServer identifies the stations.
+ - Using the {{{plot}}} sub-service to plot a specific CSML feature of a specific station:
+{{{
+http://server:port/csmlGrapher/list?dataset_id=DATASET_ID&station_name=STATION%20NAME&feature_id=feature_id
+}}}
+  The HTML produced by csmlGrapher's {{{list}}} sub-service produces links containing the corresponding {{{plot}}} sub-service URLs and optionally also verbatim links to WFS that return underlying CSML if the user has access to that WFS.
+
+Please make sure you use Firefox to view the generate web content (possibly by choosing to use an external viewer in Google Earth's ''Tools/Options'' menu) as IE7 does not show the SQL errors properly.
+
 The pylon currently contains only a single controller called {{{csmlGrapher.py}}}.
