Adding the Golden Village RSS onto your iGoogle Page

Golden Village (a cinema operator in Singapore) has created three RSS feeds for their shows. They list the shows that are "now showing", "sneak preview" or "coming soon". iGoogle is a Google page which allows you to customize your home page to display content that you are interested in. This tutorial teaches you how to display the Golden Village feed on your iGoogle page.


  1. Log in to your iGoogle page.

  2. Click on the "Add Stuff" link

  8. You will see that only the last three Movies are listed. This is because the gadge's limit is set at 3. To change this, click on the triangular shaped button to the left of the minimize button and click on "Edit Settings".
