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.
