Playing with GooglePages

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

I've been playing with GooglePages. There are definitely some missing features that hindered me a bit, but overall I was very impressed with the overall ease and slickness of the web publishing aspect. I created a page for my degree program, so I can keep a running total ...
