Spice Up Your Blog with Google Gadgets
Mmmm good timing, the day after I started this blog. "Spice Up Your Blog with Google Gadgets" was announced, so all the elements have now become gadgets. There is a much larger range and I assume they will keep growing as more are written. So I will start finding ones I find useful and write about these. I also plan to include step by step pictures on how to add your own. I think this will be useful for people with limited experience of computers, like my wife :-)

What can you achieve using bog standard Blogger?
This blog is starting out to see how much I can pile into a standard blogger site. I will be using a standard template and page elements initially. My aim will be to see how many social web sites feeds etc I can display about myself with little effort. So hour 1 has achieved the following:
- Blog created
- Adsense account created (waiting for confirmation).
- Page Elements added, Video Bar (Youtube), My Blog list (empty), About Me, Slideshow (My Flickr photos), Subscribe.
Initial problems:
- I was not able to get my blog lines, RSS feeds to link to My Blog list
- I was not able to get Friend Feed to link in
I will look into these later.
Also one day I will look up Blogger hacks, but I will highlight when and if I resort to this.
