RSS feeds, Google web elements

[Martine Osias]

Does anyone know what happened to the dynamic feed wizard. It seems
to have disappeared to be replaced by a web elements page. It'd be
great to have a web elements gadget to integrate into a web page. But
how do I specify my RSS feeds for that gadget?

I want to specify feeds from a number of web sites and have a Google
gadget show them on my web page.

Thanks.

Hi Martine,

The Dynamic Feed Control was recently removed, along with a number of other old widgets, many of which rely on deprecated APIs and/or were much in need of a massive face lift.  Note that only the pages to *get* the widgets were removed - the widgets themselves still work and will continue to do so.  The reason for this is to discourage new users from adding these old widgets to their pages as we migrate their functionality to improved gadgets (on the Google Web Elements site).

For instance, the old Search Control has become the Custom Search Element (http://www.google.com/webelements/customsearch) and the NewsShow (which replaced the even older NewsBar) is now the News Element (http://www.google.com/webelements/news).  At the moment, there is no replacement for the Dynamic Feed Control, but I hope there will be soon.  In the mean time, the Feed API is available for use directly:

Thanks,

Adam

Might the other legacy multi-feed gadget's project pages also be
removed for the same reason?

http://code.google.com/p/google-code-feed-gadget/

Its documentation was never completed (e.g. the feeds parameter syntax
was left as an exercise) but the gadget obviously still works. But if
it's a legacy gadget that's no longer actively developed or supported,
will its pages be removed to discourage new users?
