Adding The Splendid Table Recipe Google Gadget
to your Google Homepage

What is The Splendid Table recipe Google Gadget?
Google offers a new service called home page "gadgets" which are little pieces of content and/or web functionality that you can put on the Google page or your personalized iGoogle page. For example, if you visit www.google.com often, you can customize the page with Google Gadgets that provide information like weather reports for your area, news headlines on virtually topic, and the latest stories and links to audio from The Splendid Table.

But I don't have a personalized iGoogle page

That's OK. You don't have to have an iGoogle page to use the Gadgets. You can add Google Gadgets to the classic Google page. However, if you want an iGoogle page, it's free and easy to create one.

How do I add The Splendid Table recipe Google Gadget to my Google page?
It's really easy. Just follow these instructions:

1. Go to the Google homepage content directory: http://www.google.com/ig/directory?source=gghp.

The Google content directory displays.

 

2. Click the "Add by URL" link at the top right of the page. An "Add by URL" field displays.

 

3. In the Add by URL field, copy and paste this URL: http://americanpublicmedia.publicradio.org/widgets/google/spt_recipes.xml
Then, click the Add button.

4. If you are prompted with a message like the following that asks you to confirm that you want to add a Gadget that was not created by Google, click Yes.

 

After adding the URL, a message will display on the Google Content Directory confirming that the Gadget was added to your page.

 

5. Click the "< Back to homepage" link at the top left of the page. The Google home page will display with the new "Recipes from the Splendid Table" Google Gadget on your Google page.
