Not sure how many of you use this, but I just started and love it. Here is a screen shot of my sports tab...  |

You can add anything via a link.
Go to Add Stuff. At the top of this page, to the right of the Search, you'll see a small Add by URL link.
Click it and add links to any sites you want. :)
I too searched for the Cyclone items and didn't find any. Then I stumbled on the URL option. |

I actually have something setup so I can type in "something".cyclonefanatic.com and it takes me to a custom CF-branded Google Start Page like that. I thought about giving everybody the option of setting up their own but haven't done much with it yet. |
A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player. | |

I'm also not sure how to create those "stuff" items. Even though a person can use URL's - as illustrated in this thread - not everyone knows they can do that because it's not obvious. Plus, Iowa has a few "stuff" items.
Jeremy - do you know how to create these?  |

Quite obviously missing a link to my blog, but otherwise nice. |

I just found that SI.com has some "stuff" items for certain writers.
Peter King now graces my sports page. :)
Had to create a separate tab for Sports and Cyclones/Cowboys. I have a works specific tab and an IT tab too.
Good stuff. :) |

For those that use gadget items that you provide personal information for (login, etc) - you may want to read this (link below)...the creator of the MySpace gadget had some security issues to deal with and ended up taking it off-line. I'm sure not everyone has taken these types of measures. MySpace gadget phishing issue |
