Linkky goes all Google Gadgety

With a bit of tweaking, we found out how you get your widget into IGoogle and other such places:

1. Get the widget.

2. Copy the "Embed" code

3. Paste it into Notepad or a similar text editor. It will look a bit like this in the middle:

WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('b14saa0c-ab64-4c9b-be28-a604bcf8e42e')

4. Copy the long ID (eg b14saa0c-ab64-4c9b-be28-a604bcf8e42e)

5. Insert it at the end of this this URL in place of b14saa0c-ab64-4c9b-be28-a604bcf8e42e

http://widgetserver.com/syndication/GetWidget/googlegadget/b14saa0c-ab64-4c9b-be28-a604bcf8e42e

6. Paste the new URL anywhere you can insert a Google gadget (eg iGoogle or GMail using the new Labs feature)
