I am not doing anything with it right now anyway. I can't get it to work on the blog. The layers are all messed up and I don't really have time to mess with it.
I wouldn't say I am "editing it to my whim," but after some thought I do agree an email to him wouldn't hurt - if I even decide I want to put it on my blog.

... do a View Page Source from your browser. Copy the link for the gadget and change the satid line ...
That is called "stealing" another's work.
SEND N2YO AN EMAIL - and ask him for what you would like. What is wrong with doing that?
I had sent him a small donation earlier this year. And he created a CUSTOM WIDGET for me - just listing my favorite five satellites.
He is approachable. He answers polite email messages. He is a ham. He SHOULD be considered a valuable resource/reference person for us ... and NOT someone whose code should be snagged and edited to our whims.
UNLESS, of course, he plainly states that his works are free to the world, for us to edit however we want with them. But last time I looked, that was not the case.
