pageflakes widget

Pageflakes makes exporting their widgets pretty easy. I still haven't found a widget that performs a critical function for me. The one that gets the closest and in which I have the most hope is the Lijit wijit at the top of the lefthand sidebar. I could give up all the rest of my widgets and widgety pages (netvibes, pageflakes) with little loss, although I would miss fooling around with the toys.


follow up:
the widget seems to append "#FlakeId=25308303&Height=203" to the URL. This is correlated with the URL not being recognized as a valid address from which a RSS/Atom feed can be derived by, for example, feedvalidator and feedburner. Maybe this is temporary and/or actually caused by some other factor such as slow response time from blogger. Hope so. Breaking some poor schlub's feed(s) seems like a rather large demerit.

...several hours later: I turned off the feeds and then immediately re-instated them. After that things seem OK. So, correlation but apparently not causation.
