Google launched yet another a service that allows gmail users to create their own Web site . Google Page Creator as it's called, which is in beta, has sample layouts and lets people type in content, upload images and publish their own pages. No need to know HTML or other Coding Languages. Gmail Users can create multiple linked pages and are allowed 100MB of storage. The free service requires a Gmail account and supports either Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.0, or higher. The published site is hosted at
http://gmailuser.googlepages.com/.
PC World released a brief article on the new service:
"Page Creator puts your site at a yournamehere.googlepages.com URL, offers a maximum of 100MB of space, and only creates simple, static pages without flashy features, interactivity, or structure. So it's best suited for folks with extremely basic needs who want to get something on the Web with a minimum of fuss--but for that, it's worth a look. But it's a bit strange that Page Creator is a cutting-edge, extremely interactive Web service that...lets you create really old-fashioned, passive Web sites." by: Harry McCracken
