Hi everyone,

I have a website and wonder how to add gadgets, e.g. http://www.google.com/ig/modules/datetime.xml , to it.

Your instructions would be appreciated.

Best regards
Mori

If you want to add google modules to your website find the right module, click on "Add module" if it is a google site, or click on "add to site" and follow the instructions.
Clicking on "add to site" will generate a javascript that you can copy and p;ace on your site page.

Thanks for the answer, but it's not on Google Sites. On Google Sites and some others you can easily do it using some built-in features, but I don't know what to do on a simple website on Webs.com or something like that.

Is it a google module you want to add to a site? If your using webs.com to create a site can you add code?
I just read the post below this one and it seems you cant use tags like <script>. To use a module you must use script tags.

Yes, it's a Google gadget and I can add any code to my site.

Google gives you the code for modules. As I said before if you click on the module you want to add, in the next window click on "add to site" and google will generate the script for you to place on your web site page/s.
I just did this for Google's ajax feed API, so I know it works.
