Basic Gadget Codes?

I've been looking all around the net for an understandable guide to making gadgets. So far, I've found nothing. Does anyone know a good guide, or could post the basic codes I need and files I need to create

    Yeah, that was the one that is confusing. ;)

    Look at other Gadgets is your best way of learning. And use the Sidebar reference for the details on all the Methods etc.

    Start with something simple, like displaying an image from a website, so you can figure out all the Gadget specific code - the XML and gadget.html for example.

    Then go onto something more complicated, like settings pages, of which I wrote a How To as so many people fall foul of the differences between read and readString.

    Then perhaps Flyouts.

    Once you've got all the figured out, you can start doing something more useful.
