Well it's been far too long since i posted, i've been fairly busy with getting married and honeymoons and stuff, but i'm back now and hopefully i'll be updating this a lot more frequently.
I was looking into how to get google desktop gadgets added to googles gadget page last night and i came accross some interesting comments about google desktop being able to add gadgets made to run on iGoogle but not the other way around. So i grabbed the standard "Hello World" gadget for iGoogle and tried to host it. Apparently iGoogle doesn't let you add gadgets hosted on your localhost so i uploaded it using Google Page Creator as recommended in the google gadget sdk documentation. This worked a treat, i uploaded the xml file for hello world and was able to add the gadget to my iGoogle page and to my google desktop sidebar.
After trying this i think it's worth doing some work to get an iGoogle gadget working and looking nice that can also be added to Google Desktop, i'll keep you posted on my progress.
