I'm sure everyone else will give you some fancy reason why Gadgets are
so different and so cool, but the truth is they're just a webpage.

There is extra JS functionality and some bounding markup to structure
preferences etc, but once inside the document, its just like any other
webpage. Traditionally though a gadget is a minimal page with one
specific purpose, like a form or displaying an image of the day, etc.
Any easy cheat is to just have an IFRAME inside your gadget thats
points to the page you want to render as a "Gadget".

I'd suggest reading the documentation and just remember, if you've
already done it as a webpage, it can be done as a gadget, don't let
all the hype go to your head.
