And is it not these types of people Google need to use all these advanced features they are suppling in Google Sites?<br/><br/>I currently have a site with Google Pages where I upload externally created pages and I think it's great unlike their new junk. When Google Pages gets put to sleep, I shall not be moving to Google's "improved" service.

Now I have to tell about my new URLs in all the website and forum profiles I'm using (unfortunately I was expecting GPC to graduate from Google Labs). I also need to tell search engines my new URLs in case I want to move from Google Page Creator to some other site than Google Sites (for example Yahoo! GeoCities allows uploading HTML files). I'm used to creating geeky old school pages (optimized for any web browser and any operating system and making the size of the documents as small as possible still including all the important information on the pages) with little unnecessary content that is created by Web 2.0 technology used by Google Page Creator Page Manager and Google Sites.<br/><br/>With Google Page Creator you could upload HTML files and that's why with GPC it was much easier to make your pages look exactly the way you wanted with uploaded HTML files and CSS files (or CSS in HTML). With Google Sites you can't upload HTML files or use scripting either.<br/><br/>When I tried moving my Google Page Creator pages to Google Sites, I had to copy and paste the HTML source from the HTML files and change and tweak the HTML and it still looks disgusting. Also, my week old Google Sites website got banned, because its spam filter sucks so I had to contact the Google Sites team to get my Google Sites website back. Now my pages are back to Google Page Creator and I’m not sure what I should do. Google Sites is definitely Beta and should be told on every page on that service. I don’t like this at all.
