Show X Items

The Personalized Homepage supports web feeds like RSS.  If
it is just a
raw RSS feed that you want to display then I suggest you
forgo writing
a gadget and instead add it to your homepage as indicated
here:
http://groups.google.co
m/group/Google-Homepage-API/browse_thread/thread/2bbe9f66c16

If you want to write a gadget to do something more involved
then I can
only suggest reading the developer guide (at
http:/
/www.google.com/apis/homepage/guide.html), particularly
Defining
User Preferences and Working With XML Content.

I did read the dev. guide, but I didn't see any answer to
my question.
I know that you can simply add an RSS feed, but I would
really like to
create a gadget from my feed so that users will have another
avenue to
find my content.
