iGoogle

Hmmm......had an interesting but frustrating early morning. As you can see I am doing the latest thing before doing the others. Feel like I need more time to enjoy Flickr so will try to get to that next week. I set up my iGoogle homepage no problems. Enjoyed setting my themes and looks like you can have combinations of themes depending on the heading. Then I happily went about adding all sorts of gadgets to my homepage. THEN I read what we were directed to do that is adding 23 things log and google reader - this is where I got into a tangle. When adding stuff - I was using the link on the left side of the page add feed or gadget and this wouldn't let me add either of the aforementioned things. After help from Stephen it seems I only needed to use Search for gadget on the top right side of the add stuff page . I was taking this as a device just to add the fun gadgety things and was using the other as it asks to add web addresses. Anyway just use Search for gadget and all will be well. Didn't find the directions at all helpful in this regard. Fortunately I was interrupted by a desk shift and then other stuff so am only back to it this afternoon and am happy now with the result. Also from the add feed or gadget link I was unable to add RSS feeds that I have subscribed to previously. Kept saying it couldn't find them! Dunno
