Google Sites & Chrome

The book I read to research this post was Google Sites & Chrome for Dummies by Ryan Teeter et al which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. Google sites allows you to construct a website using an intuitive wizard & the basic site is free but you have to pay if you have a business site or if you want to register a domain name for the site. If you read my post on google apps you may remember that when you register to use googles docs you are given a website where you can save your work. This site is identical in practically every way. You can have gadgets which are mini programs ie calendar, in your website & google has made it as simple as possible. The neat thing about calendar is when it's set up others can see your schedule at a glance. I would suggest if you are new to computing & want to have a website that you consider having a blog & maybe when you have experience of that move onto google sites which has got a similiar interface to microsoft office & many blogsites.
Google chrome is the browser I use & I particularly like the fact that if there's a website I particularly like I can drag a shortcut button onto the taskbar. It also incorporates google search which is convenient. Also it's worth mentioning that google has specialist search engines like this one for ebooks.
