Google Sites Tips & Tricks Support That Will Save a Lot of Time & Frustration

Together with the videos, this is a complete tips and tricks guide to overcoming all the obstacles to get a web presence up and running through Google Sites.

1. Inserting Tables

HTML Style Code – This is the piece of HTML code used in the simple, “copy and paste” manner recommended in the first video (no previous experience required).

<table style=”border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-width: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;” border=”0″ bordercolor=”#888888″ cellspacing=”0″>

2. Naming Images

Never place a symbol into the name of your image file.  Examples are the use of “&”, “%” or “#”.  Google Sites doesn’t like this and will not want to insert the file into the site.

3. Cool Text

In order to create really great looking buttons that can be inserted into your Google Site, and then used in everything from the main navigation on, please go to a resource online at http://cooltext.com/Buttons.  They are a website that allows you to create really great buttons, again with no previous experience.  And their service is free!

4. Inserting Images

This is a reminder from what was already covered in the video.  It is easy to highlight an entire page of work on Google Sites and literally copy and paste it into another page.  This works well when copying and pasting things like a main navigation set of images from one page to another.  The only tip that you need to remember is that each graphical image that is copied and pasted over has not been officially inserted into that new page.  It is helpful to use the copy and paste functions to bring over the tables, formatting, text, etc.  However, each graphical image on the new page will need to be removed and re-inserted through the “Insert-Image” process shown in the video.  If you do this once the correct way, then it will work for you from then on out!

5. Registering For A Google Sites Account

There are two ways to register with Google Sites and create a new website.  The first is to simply register a Gmail account with Google and then proceed to http://sites.google.com/ while logged in under that new email account.  There will be a big blue button directing you to create your new site.  The downside of this method is that you will not have a unique URL like www.yourdomain.com.  It will be a long http://site.google.com… looking URL.  You can still get the URL changed, but it is a more difficult process.  BUT CERTAINLY ACHIEVABLE and easy to do if you know and understand what to do!  So no worries.  If this is the route that you would like to go, I would suggest contacting Tami Smith at tami@doittodayworkshops.com.

The second method is to register a new domain/URL through Google.  Then your new Google Site will automatically contain your customized URL.  To explore this route, please go to Tami Smith’s website for easy to understand and follow.
