hello.

not much to tell really. you just use the gadget control on your page and define the contents of the gadget you're building with straigh html code. the only restriction is that only static HTML content is allowed.

Here's the documentation on the Atlas Gadget control. This control is useful in that it quickly allows you to put static HTML content into it as Luis has pointed out, but also creates the necessary XML to post it up to Live.com. What I mean by post it up is that

#1. You host it on a server somewhere.
#2. You login towww.live.com
#3. Click on Add stuff.
#4. Click on Advanced.
#5. In the custom subscribe field put in your URL.http://www.somewhere.com/gadget1.aspx?gadget=true

What that Atlas:Gadget control does is put together the necessary information for you so you don't have to create a manifest file or anything else.

Here are two links to read more about Atlas:Gadget's as well as the javascript classes specific to gadgets. Remember gadgets can be used on Live.com as well as the Windows Vista sidebar.

Hope that helps!
