Set full web-pages under tabs in iGoogle

Have to do this as I'm a big iGoogle user.
Well, I tried this but just can't find the gadget this guy describes. It doesn't show up in the search box for gadgets.I finally got this to work. It seems the only place to get this gadget is on the link given above. It's not available where the rest of the gadgets are, which seems a bit strange.
It works great to put things like your favourite blog pages on your iGoogle and they're continuopusly updated.
However, I had a roblem when I tried to put Gmail there too. As I always do when putting Gmail in Speeed Dial, I signed off and got the url for the login page. When I put this in, the resulting tab opened Gmail alright but OUTSIDE of iGoogle. What this means is that I couldn't delete this tab. As it moved to Gmail so fast, there just was no time to chnage it or delete it.
I opened it at least 100 times and then on the last time, it came up on the login page (rather than going direct to my Inbox)and this was WITHIN iGoogle. So I was finally able to take out that tab.
In retrospect, what I should have done is sign out of Gmail and then I suspect that the tab would have opened in the login page but inside of Igoogle which allows deletion of the tab.
