Google launched on Thursday a service that lets people create their own Web pages hosted by the Internet giant.
Google Page Creator, which is in beta, has sample layouts and lets people type in content, upload images and publish their pages, without knowing HTML. People can create multiple linked pages and are allowed 100MB of storage on the service.
The free service requires a Gmail account and supports either Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.0, or higher.
With Google Page Creator, the company has drawn a distinction between Web sites and Web pages, saying that a page is a "single document with its own Web address," whereas a site is a "collection of pages with a common subdomain," or the "xxxxxxx.com" portion of the URL. "During this initial testing period," Google said, people can create only pages, not sites.
Google already owns Blogger, a company that enables people to create blogs. The company also recently launched a service offering hosted e-mail accounts with an individual's chosen domain, instead of Gmail.
bump for later research.
Thank you for your interest in Google Page Creator! Google Page Creator has experienced extremely strong demand, and, as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.
Very high demand, right now. They'll notify me when they can start hosting new Web Page accounts.
Sounds good to me. It's silly that there aren't more resources out there for easy web-page creation. HTML is for the birds.
Google apps are popular. I'm going to keep trying periodically.
Good point, Hal.
