Just a quick post for those who may be having issues authorising your Google Gadgets. While going through the process of creating and verifying my Gadget for Orkut, Google asks you to put a comment inside one of the Content tags in your gadget XML file.

Humans. Not the smartest.

Right, so, I’m sure at some point I wrote something about something to do with humans not thinking ahead when they do stuff.
