Grab a Number of Cool Google Gadgets
The gadget team over at Google have made it really easy to grab any number of tools they have featured there and display them on your web site. At the time of writing this, they have over 175,000 little boxes of information to share with your own visitors.
To get started with adding your own, first visit the Google Gadgets page. You can either try searching for the one that fits your needs, or browse through the various categories.
For example, if we wanted to add Bejeweled to our web page, you could visit this link, and then click the “Add to your webpage” button. You can then select the title for the box, the width and height, and then the border for it. Once you are happy with your edits, hit the button labeled “Get the Code” to get the right code to use.
Copy the code from that web site, and paste it into your web site. You are done! Now you have a very cool gadget that could add form and functionality to your web site’s overall experience for a user.

Nice article. Using the Bejewled example was quite good. Haven’t played that in ages and it is a great game to pass the time.
