You can enter
Demo if you're just testing planyo and don't yet have a planyo site.
Your current site ID is 25421.
Other settings let you use your own CSS stylesheet, set the default mode of the planyo app (search box or resource list) and optionally other settings of the search and resource list functions. You can also change the gadget box settings (e.g. remove the title and the frame or change the width / height). You can also modify the
