    Hi,

    I am an amateur trying to make a simple tip-of-the-day type iGoogle Gadget with a CPA ad (or Adsense but I'm not invited?)

    I made some progress and got the gadget to show up on my page.

    But, how do I link the title of the Gadget to my website? And, there is a file called gadget.gmanifest that I keep getting a Windows cannot open error.

    I am also trying to make a feed Gadget. It looks great, shows up on my page, but I can't find it in the Google directory and the title is my feed URL, how can I change that?

    Sorry for all the questions, I know Google has a huge developers help section but I spent hours there yesterday and hope someone here can help...

    I have downloaded, and redownloaded the big SDK file.

    Thanks!
    Angela

    P.S. Please tell me if this belongs in another forum and I'll post it there, thanks!

    Thank you -- I just realized that I have so much to learn. I feel like I need to go to college first...lol...it looks hard.

    But, I enjoy a challenge and can try to teach myself how to do this as a hobby, who knows maybe I'll actually learn how.

    I appreciate the two links and will be using them frequently.

    Thanks :)
