I write a blog on Insights. I recently created an iGoogle gadget for my blog with two intentions in mind.
(1) Provide a small interesting and beautiful gadget to share daily insights in brief.
(2) To use this gadget as a promotion for my blog though a link provided in the gadget.
Has anyone else tried to use igoogle gadget for the same? How has been the experience? Any advice, suggestions?
Any suggestions specifically for my gadget will also be very useful - www.google.com/ig/adde?synd=open&source=ggyp&moduleurl=insights.tickandpick...

Thanks

    Insights on what?I don't understand? I started reading your blog on insights, all you need is to accept Jesus into your heart and love God and believe in him. Thats it nothing else.

    Gadgets will show up in the Google dir when a certain amount of users have add it. who knows what that number is but its not many.

    I see that you use render_inline="optional" I dont think they support that any more I would remove it, also you need to add category="funandgames" category2="lifestyle" with what ever category you want.

    Your gadget is throwing errors
    {throw new Error("To use this feature, you must add " +" to your tag.");}
    {throw new Error("To use this feature, you must add " +" to your tag.");}function _IG_AdjustIFrameHeight()
    {throw new Error("To use this feature, you must add " +" to your " +" tag.");}

    to see the errors
    gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=http://insights.tickandpick.com/iggadget/letsta...
    Now hold your mouse inside the box and go view source.

    Hope that helps
