I recently switched my home page from plain Google to iGoogle. I also switched from Bloglines to Google Reader. I have, in essence, bowed my knee to the Google machine!
When I was looking for a Digg gadget for my home page I couldn’t find anything I liked. I do like Digg River for browsing Digg with no-frills attached. So, I decided to create a quick gadget out of it and style it. For this you’ll need Firefox, the iGoogle home page, and the Stylish add-on.
Steps
- From your iGoogle home page go to “add stuff” in the upper right hand side.
- Click the “add feed or gadget” in the left sidebar, and paste the following URL.
http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/116560593627449566114/diggriver.xml
- Then in your Stylish add-on go to “Write style” and “blank style” and paste the following code.
@-moz-document domain("diggriver.com") { body {font: 10px verdana, sans-serif;} input[class="i"], a[href^="/link"] {display: inline;} a {font-size: 10px;} form p {font: 0 verdana; color: white; clear: both;} .copy {display: none;} }
That’s it! Now you just login to the gadget with your Digg account, and you have a good gadget!
