Hi Neal,

The technology's definitely viable - like many on this group, I have
written dozens of gadgets for many different tasks.

The message you describe means that the iGoogle server is unable to
contact the host where your XML file is located. Given that it's
another Google server in your case, it sounds like an internal routing
problem at Google itself. Such things do happen occasionally, and
there's not much that we as users can do about them. But they usually
don't last long - Google has a lot of good people dedicated to sorting
such things out - and in fact, I can see your gadget fine this
morning.

So hopefully that problem's cleared itself; you may have just had bad
luck at the moment you chose to try gadget development. But longer
term, I'd recommend against hanging your development efforts on GGE.
While it can be great for quick&dirty proof-of-concept prototypes, my
experience is that it's not robust enough for real development work.
You'll be much better off hosting your own gadgets on server space of
your own.

Don't give up,

String
