Applets by comparison are considered untrusted since they are initiated automatically in the browser. This restriction prevents applets from doing certain things, such as loading content from a different domain than the one hosting the applet.
Due to the fact that I am using data from another domain, and that this piece will have to run from my website, I will obviously have to sign the applet. To do this I had to use 'Terminal' on the mac, in the utilities folder which I rarely visit. I had never used this program before so after doing some research online I found these two helpful resources, which with a bit of common sense made this process easy to achieve.
First off was a YouTube video on the general workings of Terminal, then secondly this forum post on the actual process of signing the sketch.
I have also included this picture of my signing just to show where the changes are that I made to make it relevant to my piece.
