On my quest to see if I can switch from self-hosted websites to free services like those on Google Apps, I'm adding to my test with a new site on Google Sites. Since you can't have more than 10 pages on Google Blogger and I'm looking for a place to host English Quizzes and tests that are on my language learning site when I cancel my hosting acccount in a couple months I decided to start a site in Google Sites and see if it will let me do some of what I want.
I am sure it won't have any database access for php scripts to save scores, etc., but I am hoping that I'll be able to post javascript based quizzes and activites. I'll be adding posts to this blog describing what I tried to do and what worked (or didn't). If I find a work-around I'll post about that too. The URL for my test Google site is https://sites.google.com/site/learnandpracticeenglish/
So far I went to Google sites, choose a name, selected a template, a type of site (classroom), and filled in a captcha code. It loaded a page with preloaded information so I'll start experimenting. :-)
It looks like redirects and affiliate links are not allowed, but Adsense is allowed (no surprise there really) so I'll probably first try to get Adsense set up on it.
Do you have a Google Site? What do you like and dislike about it?
I see there is a limit of 100 megabytes in Site storage I am curious if that is per site or for all sites under an account.
