 Get Started with Google Sites
Google Sites is an online
application that makes creating a team website as easy as editing a document.
With Google Sites, people can quickly gather a variety of information in one
place -- including videos, calendars, presentations, attachments, and text --
and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, their entire
organization, or the world.
