Thanks for the response Nicky Just before your post, I also posted this query on http://groups.google.com/group/bloggerdev?hl=en as well - so more info may turn up there.
I did wonder whether it might be a failure of the igoogle/syndication directories to handle the gadgets api (or gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler / gadgets.io.makeRequest which we share in common). I've also tried "adding" my gadget using the friendconnect directory i.e. http://www.google.com/friendconnect/directory/request?configure=true&url= ..... &id=... which displays preview/configuration display properly. Unfortunately this directory is not relevant to my gadget - so there is no point in submitting it there! As you say - who is going to add a gadget that does not preview - people will think its broken! :-( Does anyone else know whether this is definetly an API issue on the igoogle directory?
