Hi Vision Jinx,
It does look like there is an issue on Pages, that the content type is set incorrectly on the file. It's likely that this is preventing iGoogle from rendering the gadget. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to correct this. I don't think there is any official word on deprecating hosting of XML files, but unofficially I would recommend that you move to a new host.
If you need any aliases made, just let me know.
Best, Dan

Hey All,
Anyone else having this issue of any gadget hosted with either Google Pages or Google Hosted Apps now no longer works?
I can still see pages so it's not bandwidth exceeded issue and am having the same issue on all sites I tested, I can also access the URL directly, I even took a working one from one of my non-Google sites and upload it to GPC and get the message "Module not found" errors or similar like they added a robots.txt exclusion for it. I also tried adding it with the developer module and from the directory add by url.
Dan if your reading, can you please confirm this is the issue and email them and ask for a fix to be made. I find those teams "help" totally non-existent at best and a total polar opposite compared to the help you provide. Since it took almost two weeks for the broken site settings page to be fixed (just this week) I am guessing this will be an equally slow and painful process but any indications of haste would be appreciated or what ever info your able to provide (assuming this is the issue). Additionally, If they have no intention of unblocking it (ie can no longer host gadgets using Hosted Apps or GPC ), please let me know as this will be the final push to drop the services completely and stay away from any more of these unpredictable and unreliable "cloud services".
Anyways, some URLs to test and it's the very same gadget.
