I really do not love the new igoogle, especially since it ruined the
Web Stickies Mod (the gadget I use the most). But I found that if you
go to igoogle with this address:
http://www.google.com/ig?gl=all
it will open the old igoogle and web stickies should work.

There are two web stickies gadgets, and one of them did not work for
me (the add button was missing still), so be sure to try them both.

Anyways, I used to use this gadget all the time to communicate with my
wife while I'm at work. I have igoogle up at home and here at work
and she and I can post stickies to each other through out the day and
pick the up on the common homepage. It is great! I am so glad I can
start using this again!

Thanks for sharing this with us, James :)

It's been very hard fixing or developing further the gadget since the
deprecation of inline gadgets. Inline gadgets are now cached by Google
servers which means any changes I make to the source code do not
actually get reflected in the gadget when it's rendered.

However, one day soon, Web Stickies will live again on iGoogle.

Thanks for everyone's support.
