Google Homepage Modules

If you like my Google Homepage Modules and would like to support their development and maintenance, I thank you, but what I am most interested in at this time is publishing my first fiction novel. The best way that you can support me is to read my book (it's online and it's free) and comment on it.

If you would like to learn how to create your own modules, read this site.

· Flickr Recently Added

My first module is my Flickr Recently Added module. It just asks Flickr for the most recent image added by any user and displays it along with the owner's name and links to both the image and the owner.

If you would like to install this module onto your Google Homepage, click here. Or you can do it by going to the Add Content link on your Google Homepage, then go to Create a Section and enter the following URL:

· Friends' Flickrz

My second module is Friends' Flickrz which is similar to the first, but only displays images from your contacts list. You need to provide your Flickr username and the module will pick a random image from your contacts from the most recent 50 images available.

If you would like to install this module onto your Google Homepage, click here. Or you can do it by going to the Add Content link on your Google Homepage, then go to Create a Section and enter the following URL:

· US Traffic Information

My third module is US Traffic Information which uses the Yahoo! Traffic information API and Google maps to draw a map of traffic information for any location you specify. Simply enter your location (major city and state or zip code), then click on the markers for details.

· Netflix

My forth module is a Netflix module that provides a simple, readily-available view to your Netflix account. For more information and configuration instructions, click here.

Don't have a Netflix account? Sign up here. It's worth it for more than just my cool module!

· Flickr Interestingness

Similar to Flickr Recently Added, this module takes advantage of something that Flickr calls interestingness. It just displays random interesting Flickr images for the day.
