Google Sites Update: Templates
Tomi H�s�

"I'm pleased to announce we just added a stocked gallery of site templates
in Google Sites. Anyone can browse the public template gallery, and
businesses using Google Apps each have a private area where employees can
share site templates with coworkers."
"The rate that businesses are adopting Google Sites has surpassed our
expectations, and templates will make Sites even more useful by
dramatically reducing the time it takes to set up collaborative workspaces
like employee intranets, project tracking sites, team sites and employee
profile pages. Templates let you quickly start a new site with pre-built
content, embedded gadgets, page layouts, navigation links, theming and
more."
"And because many of you are managing personal projects with Google Sites,
we also added templates for family sites, weddings, neighborhood
associations, clubs, charitable causes and more to the public gallery.
Check out the Google Docs Blog for other examples and details, and if you
have a personal site that others could use as a template, please submit
your work to the public gallery!"

"Google Sites makes creating and sharing a website easy. It is powerful
enough for a company intranet, yet simple enough for a family website.
Today, we're happy to simplify the site creation process even further with
the introduction of the Google Sites template gallery. When you select a
template from the new Sites template gallery, your new site will come
setup with custom page layouts, links for navigating to each page,
embedded gadgets, themes and much more."
"The public template gallery is open for anyone to contribute templates,
and we look forward to seeing what you create and submit. Do you have a
great wedding site that you think other couples would use or have you
built a club website that everyone loves? Follow these steps to submit
your template to the gallery:"
"1. Open up the site you want to add to the gallery. Note: the site must
be published and you must be an owner to submit the site."
"2. Select 'More actions', 'Manage site,' 'General', and chose 'Publish
this site as a template.'"
"3. Choose a template name, a category, enter a description and click
'Submit template.'"
"4. Your site template will appear in the gallery for everyone to see
within hours."
"We started the gallery with some initial templates, which cover a variety
of uses."
