=) Try something a bit easier as a first gadget. Just put "Hi" or something. Get it onto your sidebar then continue working on it. Add a picture, change text colors, put a backround, you know. Then, try the harder stuff ;-)
Search for EirianNorre in the gallery and you'll see my first (and only) gadget. Use my source files as a template.
Good luck!
