Within the last 2 weeks a couple of Google Gadgets disappeared from my small site (nyctime.com), one was a currency converter and the other was a metric measurement converter. When I “View Source” it says they’re both still there. Can anyone tell me what happened to them? My hosting company doesn’t know what happened to them and apparently neither does anyone at google forums.
On a related note: I noticed when I go to Google Gadgets ( http://www.google.com/gadgets/directory?synd=open ) and click on “Add To Your Webpage”, on every widget I get a 404 error and not the code to embed on a site.
The problem with using something hosted on somebody else’s site is it could disappear at any time. It looks like a Google fault but it is strange they have not fixed it unless they no longer support gadgets.
I would recommend you find some code you can post directly into your code. Hotscripts is usually a good source for things like that.
