                               Sites
                         or a poor man’s database
                               (ok, really, MS Access)

Hosted sites

                    • Geocities?
                    • Tripod?
                    • AngelFire?
                    • Google Sites

Saturday, 27 June 2009
Benefits
                    • Can put it on your (sub)domain
                     • site.bytebot.net
                    • Can have it as part of Google Apps for Your
                         Domain
                         • You get a whole lot more space (100MB/
                           site vs 10GB/domain)

An embarrassment
                             from 1996




                         from web.archive.org




Saturday, 27 June 2009
Not much has changed
                         in 2009




Saturday, 27 June 2009
Why do I bother?

                    • I blog a lot more these days, rather than
                         update static HTML pages
                         • vim foo.html; rsync -e ssh -vzra foo.html
                           bytebot.net:~/public_html/
                    • Pages on the other hand are great for
                         “resource building”



Saturday, 27 June 2009
So, what’s Google Sites?
                    • Multimedia, calendars, presentations, text,
                         all in one place
                    • Easy to use editor (like office software)
                    • Control permissions for viewing/editing
                    • Gadgets
                     • I want to play with this more
Saturday, 27 June 2009
But what really rocks?
                    • Templates!




Saturday, 27 June 2009
OK, its not just that


                    • Analytics integration
                    • AdSense integration


Saturday, 27 June 2009
Lists




Saturday, 27 June 2009
Lists

                                 • Type:
                                  • Checkbox,
                                    Date,
                                    Dropdown,
                                    Text, URL




Saturday, 27 June 2009
Voila! Poor man’s MS
                                 Access




Saturday, 27 June 2009
Embedding gadgets




              Literally a pull-down menu away



Saturday, 27 June 2009
Problems?
                    • AdSense, you can’t track based on a
                         channel
                    • Option to tag, in terms of type (making for
                         easier organisation)
                         • Imagine a field where it was freeform
                           “text”, but comma separation garnered
                           them as tags


Saturday, 27 June 2009
Your experiences?


                                   Thanks!
                                 Colin Charles
