Here is a little Wilson Gambit from my archives for your amusement shown in an early prototype version of the ChessFlash viewer.

The viewer is intuitive and works fine. You might also check out the chess.com viewer which allows you to stick in lots of annotations. :)
Regarding the game, I'm not too convinced by the Wilson Gambit. To me eyes, Black seemed to have a small advantage early on and only blew it because he overlooked a simple fork (5.Qb5+) and then a somewhat harder tactic (6...Nc6). At blitz I could see that happening, but at OTB time controls I couldn't see too many of your opponents overlooking a simple fork and Black's edge must cause you some pain in the middlegame.

likesforests: I agree that the Wilson Gambit is a bit sketchy and is best used (if at all!) in blitz.
I'll take a look at the chess.com viewer. Thanks for the tip.

dear glenn, i had tried previously to get you down on RSS feed, but was prevented. i tried it again today, and it is there, so now i can keep up with you do as all other main bloggers, missing in no single instance, any posts, small or large. take care, dk
dk: Getting the feed to work properly is one of the reasons I went back to a basic blogger template...at least for now. Thanks for pointing it out in the first place and letting me know it is now working for you.
