My First Gadget

I decided that it was about time that I taught myself how to create Google Gadgets. I work with them here and there for my job, but I also wanted to see what they’re all about. I’ve heard from plenty of people how fun they are to make (and I have to agree). It’s a pretty cool API and I think they’re fairly extensible.

I figured my first gadget should be something for The Diatribe. So, I created a customizable gadget that can sit on you iGoogle page showing the most recent headlines from The Diatribe. You can also create a customizable icon of your favorite Diatribe author.

To add the gadget to your iGoogle homepage, click the button below (or the new link on the right hand sidebar). Let me know what you think.. suggestions are welcome!
