There are still few holes in that. As mentioned earlier RSS is not supported yet. Same is supported by blogger.com... this is quite surprising. Initially firefox have the issue of not displaying icon properly, but in my new verson of firefox 2.0.0.1, everything works fine...Thanks to Firefox... Custom layouts are not much more flexible... i have had a hardtime to tackle with them for my application. Also they don't have scrap option. I didn't find any option to provide comments. There are still many more... cheers, JM I found Google page creator as a wonderful tool. There are still few holes in that.

The solution is all to simple upload html files from the upload box. Be fair to google you would be jumping for joy if geocities came out with a fast free completely ad free hosting service which is what this is googles answer to homestead and geocities and in that capacity it excels Like any nerd I looked for the edit raw html button but there appears to be no way to edit the entire page html!

The thing is, your sub-domain – e.g. john.doe.googlepages.com – will always be your Gmail address. And spammers, as we know, like nothing better than to get a lot of email addresses to send their spam too. Soon, they’ll have another way to harvest those addresses.
