Subject: Announcing a new feature for Page Creator
Today we released a new feature for Page Creator that has been near
the top of everyone's wish list.

We proudly announce the ability to change or delete your home page in
Page Creator. To delete your homepage, simply highlight it in the site
manager and hit delete. You will receive the obligatory warning
message asking you if you're sure you want to delete the page. Simply
hit yes and your page will be gone.

To change your home page, click on the "Site settings" link in site
manager. Under the "Homepage" option you will see a drop down menu
listing all of the pages you've created. Click on the one you wish to
be your homepage and it will be changed. You can click on the "Go to
my homepage" link to view it if you wish. Please keep in mind that the
page must be published before it can be viewed otherwise you'll
receive an error message saying "Sorry...but that beautiful web page
you're looking for isn't here yet. Stay tuned!"

We're excited about being able to release a new feature that was
highly requested by our users and hope this is the first of more to
come.

Hello,

How would I get the site name itself to delete?

This is nice. Now we are able to make seasonal homepages :-)
I'm awaiting a great feature, that is, a Trash Bin.

I once erased one of my main section page mistakenly and fell ill. I
tried to recover it through search engines and stuff but couldnt.
Later on i found through the Google Cache.

Hi gman121,

Right now that's not an option. We are looking into making it happen
though.

to Navi, as funny as that seems, it wouldn't really help.

Timepiece,

You can't. It won't allow files to be pages. Only pages created in GPC
are able to be assigned as the home page.

I think it would be a great idea though it would help simplify GPC by
avoiding annoying homepage redirects!

I just wanted to say that I'm truly impressed !!

Very easy to use and the main purpose was to show friends and family
some videos thier in America we are in Ireland and it has all worked
so easily.

Big Thank You.

The only suggestion I would have is I'm not sure if I would want my
webpages to be public to everyone, so is there anyway to password
proctect pages or just let people view that you have invited to few
the pages - a bit like the Albums websites google has created...

I agree that uploaded html and htm files shoudl be recognized as
pages. I am running a couple different sites and I do most of it in
written out html code. javascript redirects are being deleted
automatically by gpc, although I found a way to trick it (sorta)

Well, I'd pretty much figured that out - I was trying to point out
that I (and many others) WANT to make an uploaded file our home page,
and it really should be considered as an option. I've put a lot of
work into my pages, and my CSS, and I don't want any pages which do
not match the rest of my site - the redirect is a kludge and I'd like
to make it unnecessary.

You guys should be pleased that advanced users capable of writing
their own HTML still want to use Google as their web host - why not
help us out a little?

I really hope the HTML page made by ourself be the homepage...
but it's nothing serious, we can put a HTML code in the homepage

like this:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location="page URL you wanna automatic link to";;
</script>

Enjoy this summer holiday:)

Mike,

I fully understand the decision to not allow uploaded html files to be
pages, but I do not understand the decision to only allow pages to be
assigned as the home page.  If we can link to uploaded html files from
the pages, why can't we also assign one of those html pages as the
home page?  Is this a possible future feature or is this never going
to be implemented?

tech.shep,

I disagree, I do not think uploaded html files should be recognized as
"Google Pages".  This would mean that the google page creator would
have to be completely overhauled to allow for foreign html and would
negate the idea of creating a simple easy to use WYSIWYG editor that
is what Google Page Creator is.  That would be a daunting task and
probably impossible to code and keep up to the standards that we
expect from Google.
I do however completely agree that we should be able to upload html
files and then assign one of those as the "home page".  We are already
getting around this using javascript, why not allow us to do it in a
non kludgy way that, for example, I can present to my boss as a reason
we should go with Google Apps rather than a hosted exchange server and
web server combo.

I couldn't agree more. I've spent all day trying to figure out what I
was doing wrong, and why I couldn't use the website I already made.
After realizing that this is not allowed I tried numerous redirect
tricks, most of which are now automatically deleted by GPC. Eventually
I found something, but this is far from an ideal solution. I feel like
I'm spending more time trying to battle the imposed restrictions than
actually developing my site.

Hello, dear Google company! That began possible to remove a homepage -
really good news for all users. It would be desirable to learn -
whether you plan to enter an opportunity to change URL, similarly to
as they vary easily on Blogger?

Great, a very nice new feature, but it has a minor bug.

After you delete your homepage and create a new "home" page, this new
one doesn't show the house icon it should have. So, anyone can
casually delete its homepage without noticing it.

Yes you can. there are two ways to do this;

Use and intro, and then redirect to your uploaded html home page
or you use a redirect code.

http://nypctech.googlepages.com/Slideshows.htm

see the extension?
Although that's not my home page, the above page was uploaded manually
and then linked to other pages.

I hope that helps

nypctech  -

Did you even read the thread? Most of as are already using a redirect
- that's what we're trying to get rid of. You can see where I referred
to it as a "kludge."

Hi, maybe you can help me.  I went and "deleted" my homepage; I wanted
to see what happened.  So now, I can go to my domain, and the start
page still comes up.  But...if I hit "sign in", I get an error that
says "Service not available."  Further, there doesn't seem to be a way
of getting back to the "dashboard" where I can re-enable my start
page.  Help!
Thanks!
