Google Pages: free web site

Yes, it's true, that search giant Google now is in the beta (testing) phase of "Google Pages" -- free web sites. You need to sign up to get a free site and you'll get a Google "account", but I got my Google Pages account enabled within a week or so. Google Pages seems ideally suited for churches that want a web site that nearly anyone can create and maintain.

Here are some fast facts about Google Pages ...

• Google is currently granting up to 100MB of web site space on their server.
• You choose from several different page designs
  (you can upload your own if you really need or want to).
• Each design comes in a few different color schemes.
• The Web-base Google Page Creator editor isn't fancy, but it does the basics.
• You can upload files and images.
• Three heading levels (H1, H2, and H3 tags) are available by mouse click and are styled to produced a result that's pleasing with the selected design.
• The designs use CSS, not tables

If your church doesn't have a web and would like to start one that doesn't require a web developer or "techie", give Google Pages a try. Here's a sample page with comments about the service.
