We are
proud to announce the release of the Classic Motoring Accessories Newswire
Gadget.
Our new CMA Newswire Gadget, a part of the Google Desktop interface, plugs
you right into ProperAutoCare's news feeds.
Now, you can have ProperAutoCare.com on your desktop.
What this means for you is that you will know about new products, alerts
on promotions and sales, before we go to press on our main site.
You'll be subscribed to our feeds, without actually having
to subscribe to our feeds.
As you can see from the images below, the gadget takes up very little
of your desktop's real estate.
You can just tuck it up on a corner of your screen.
Our Gadget resides on your desktop, delivering our feeds directly to you.
Think of it as your personal Labrador Retriever, fetching
your morning newspaper.
For the present, this is a Windows-only gadget. Very soon, we will release
a Mac version.
When you click on a certain feed in the gadget, a window will
pop out to the side of the gadget with the full story.
Clicking on the feed link at the top of the popout window, will take you
directly to the post.
The gadget does not require you have a browser open.
Clicking on a link within the story, will open your default browser and
take you directly to our site.
To install our Gadget, you will need to download and install Google Desktop.
Both Google Desktop and our Gadget are FREE!
Download and installation takes just a few minutes.
Go to this link and download the Google
Desktop.
After you have installed Desktop, click on this link, for our Gadget.
Click on the Download button.
When dialog box pops up, choose the "Open with Google Desktop" option.
You will see another dialog box pop up asking you to confirm you wish
to install our Gadget.
Please click OK.
Installation is fast.
You will see the Gadget dock itself in the Google Desktop sidebar when
installation is complete.
If you wish to have just our gadget on your desktop, and not
the entire sidebar, just click and just drag the gadget off the sidebar.
Then, minimize the sidebar.
Simple!
Once installed, Google Desktop and our Gadget will run automatically
when you start your computer.
Technology can be a wonderful thing!
Should you need additional information on our Gadget, please

Here is a bit more information on the Google Desktop from Google
themselves.
"Google Desktop makes searching your computer as easy as searching
the web with Google.
It's a desktop search application that provides full text
search over your email, files, music, photos, chats, Gmail, web pages
that you've viewed, and more.
By making your computer searchable, Desktop puts your information
easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize
your files, emails and bookmarks.
Google Desktop doesn't just help you search your computer;
it also helps you gather new information from the web and stay organized
with gadgets and sidebar.
Google Gadgets can be placed anywhere on your desktop to show
you new email, weather, photos, personalized news, and more.
Sidebar is a vertical bar on your desktop that helps you keep
your gadgets organized.
You can also keep your Google Gadgets organized in your sidebar, a vertical
bar on your desktop which basically functions as a control panel for your
gadget.
You can drag and drop any of your gadgets into or out of your sidebar,
or move them up or down to arrange them in any order.
The sidebar can be set to always stay on top of other screens, and we've
re-designed it to blend better into your desktop.
If you'd rather not have a sidebar, you can minimize it into either a
deskbar -- which you can use to keep a small search box right in your
Windows taskbar -- or a floating deskbar -- which includes a search box
that floats above all other windows and can be dragged anywhere you want
on your desktop.
Both these options allow you to quickly launch applications or search
your computer and the web.
Improved!
Google Gadgets Desktop gives you one-glance access to personalized
and up-to-the-minute information with Google Gadgets -- interactive mini-applications
that can be placed anywhere on your desktop or on your iGoogle page to
show you new email, weather, photos and personalized news.
Other gadgets include the clock, calendar, scratch pad, todo
list and many more.
You can choose to add the gadget to your desktop, your iGoogle page, or
both." |
