Tip: Put a gadget in its place

Help people find your gadget by specifying its category. In your gadget.gmanifest, add a <category> tag containing one or two categories that describe the gadget. Possible values: communication, finance, fun_games, google, holiday, lifestyle, news, sports, technology, tools. Example:

 <about>
  <version>4.8.l5.16</version>
  ...
  <category>news,sports</category>
</about>

The gadget directory automatically picks up changes such as these every so often by looking at your hosted gadget files. Go ahead and update your gadgets, and they will be placed in the categories you want.
