Google gadget for showing RSS feed

Google gadgets are mini-apps, widgets that can be selected from a personal iGoogle page or from a web page or app.

Gadget or Widget? We get a little lost in these traits of different formats. There are Windows widgets that are hosted on the desktop, Yahoo widgets based on Konfabulator, Netvibes widgets that are hosted on their site's personal page, and finally there are Google gadgets that do it all at once.
The term widget is seen as an abbreviation for "Windows" and "gadget," so Google uses the second term for those placed on web pages.
Google offered time to place these gadgets on the Windows desktop, but this service no longer exists. On the other hand, for HTML interfaces 5, regardless of the system, it will always be possible to integrate such widgets into them.

To make a gadget like an RSS gadget is amazing simplicity, there is almost only a stream URL (an XML file made, for example, with ARA) that needs to be given to the Google interface, and it provides you with JavaScript code ready to insert into the page... nothing else!
To find this interface, you need to follow the hierarchy of the Google gadget site.

Below you are given the path to the interface for creating the RSS channel of the gadget.

Gadgets page

The catalog of all Google gadgets is no longer available. On this page, you could select from all gadgets made by the creators and posted to the network, and select to add to your web pages (or, as I said above, to your HTML applications 5).

These gadgets are real apps, and the list includes, for example, the number of games. Ranking by category makes searching easier. The tools category includes about 30,000 gadgets, so it's best to go through the search bar. The keyword "rss" gives us access to the RSS Widget among other things, but the one referred to here meets the keywords "custom RSS feed."

Creating a gadget

Create your own versatile gadget.
This page leads to the Universal Gadget Developer's Guide. They will tell you how to place your creation on your personal iGoogle page or on a web page. If you want to send your achievement to Google for him to add to his gallery, you can do it from there or directly in the submission form.
You also have a link to a gallery of gadgets for web pages.

Interface for creating an RSS gadget

You are here on the page where it is indicated how to use the pre-installed gadget, what happens to RSS. Click the "Start now" or "Start" button in the upper right corner. You have a gallery. Type "custom RSS" in the search bar at the top and click on the corresponding gadget.
The description will appear: Enter "Add to web page" or "Add to your web page" in French, and the created interface will appear.
In the Feed URL or Flow URL field, enter an RSS feed address, for example: https://www.iqlevsha.ru/rss.xml.
Select the text, border and colors that are right for you, then click the Get Code or Get Code button below.
The JavaScript code provided can be placed anywhere on the site page.

Update: Even if the gadget creation page still exists (forgetfulness?), Google has dropped the service. Microsoft has also ditched gadgets on Windows 8 and Windows 10. Stay KDE on Linux...
To place an RSS feed on a web page, it is best to use an RSS Reader written in PHP and available on this site...
