2. Some of my gadgets are bigger and can't be inserted into the Google's home page - regarding this, is possible for the Google home page be customized so it can display bigger gadgets? It seems that whatever skin I choose I have the same 3 columns. Maybe is possible to leave only 1, or maybe is possible for one gadget with the width of 700px to spread oer all 3 columns so it will display complete.

Just to add to Matt's reply on this point, you can change column width directly in iGoogle. Your active tab (up near the top of the page, just under the Google logo area) should have a little down-arrow icon. Click that and select "Edit this tab"; you should get a selection of column-layout options.

But be aware that many users don't know about this, so you should try to avoid gadgets that rely on a width greater than 300px or so unless they're only for your own use.
