When I first started Developing for Google Gadgets this was the first problem to solve: where is the editor? First things first: its on iGoogle and you can find this my searching for iGoogle on Google. Then find add gadgets and search from there for Google Gadget Editor.

| The iGoogle interface (I've added the editor already) |
To get started with the creation of your app or widget you will first need to teach yourself to program in HTML or better learn Java (there are many good free online courses). It would also be worth while to learn CSS to get the gadgets to look good (perfect for blogging too).
Assuming that you know how to program in at least one language you can get started by following these steps:
- Click file then save as and save Hello World as the name of the app your building
- Now you are ready to code.
- When you've finished click file again and then publish (don't forget to preview and debug)
The apps will be hosted on Google as opposed to using their far more complex project hosting site on Google Code.
