I know Sara posted about it on the old forums, anybody else got an invite?

Easy enough to use, cept I was unable to change fonts.

looks a bit formulaic with little freedom to make your own pages

If I want to put up some photies and some yammerin about a trip, Id rather spend 10 minutes with Google pages than an hour in a text editor.

Plenty enough freedom for a page about your genital wart collection, There are a couple dozen color schemes and half a dozen layouts.

Its meant to be simple. ;)

Sara:
Yep its horrendously restrictive. But thats good for people who havent a clue and want to dash out a quick website.

I did a blurb on it for ShinyShiny http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2006/02/easy_webdesign_.html

The thing itself: http://sarajw.googlepages.com/

maximusotter:
"horrendously restrictive" is a bit excessive dont you think?

The layouts are far better than I would come up with in a pinch, and how much formatting do you really need for most things.

A header, "this is my essay" some cool colors, a sidebar, and a text body for the bulk.

Ive got a bit of a clue, but Im not fully proficient in html, and rely on mozilla-composer to rough stuff in when I do the rare page. This is much better. :P
