Most NewsGator widgets contain a footer with the Get This logo. When you click on that logo, an interface for adding the widget to iGoogle among many other social sites will pop up, and the rest will be intuitive. If you have a widget that does not have this functionality, you will need to do the following:
In your Editor's Desk account, make sure you are in the Manage menu where you can view widgets. Click on the icon to View Code Snippet for the widget you are adding to iGoogle. A popup box will display a section of code much like the following:
<script src="http://nmp.newsgator.com/NGBuzz/Buzz.ashx?buzzId=35153&apiToken=5C97195DE96E453DA67DB78BC65679A9" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
You will need the buzzId and the apiToken from this script. In this example the buzzId is 35153 and the apiToken is 5C97195DE96E453DA67DB78BC65679A9.
Add the buzzId and apiToken to this URL:
http://nmp.newsgator.com/NGBuzz/Embed/GoogleGadget.aspx?buzzId=[BUZZIDHERE]&apiToken=[APITOKENHERE]
So it will look like…
http://nmp.newsgator.com/NGBuzz/Embed/GoogleGadget.aspx?buzzId=35153&apiToken=5C97195DE96E453DA67DB78BC65679A9
Log in to your iGoogle account, and on your homepage click on Add stuff >> at the top right corner. On the next page, next to the Search Homepage Content button there is an option to Add by URL. Go there and enter the URL you just created. You will get a message warning you that you are adding a feature not created by Google. Click OK and you will see a confirmation message. Once you return to your homepage you will see the widget that you added.
