All about using and developing Pageflakes modules for software developers, hobbyists and general Pageflakes enthusiasts.

Overview 

Getting Started

First of all, I assume that you are using Pageflakes as your home page and that you have installed at least one of the standard modules or flakes.

If you haven't, then you need to start there. Go to Pageflakes.com and then click on "Log In" or "Sign Up" in the upper right corner. Once you have done that, you can add content to your homepage using the "Add Content" link in the upper left corner of the page.

Now that you're using Pageflakes, you'll likely start wishing you had one or more cool widgets right on that page. That's what this lens is all about.

Documentation and Discussion

This is the main developer documentation. You'll need to understand Javascript, XML and possibly have some experience with server-side devlopment.

One of the primary developers of Pageflakes maintains a blog that is worth reading for up-to-date information about Pageflakes and the technologies surrounding it.

About Me 

My first add-in module was a Google homepage module built just for fun and I really did enjoy it. But when Google actually accepted two of my modules for inclusion in their directory, I really got excited.

I thought it would be a nice thing to put all of this information into one place so other developers have a starting point.
