When I login to my gmail account, I see a line of links across to top
that looks like this:

Gmail Calendar Documents Photos Reader Web more>

When I expand "more>", I see a list of additional services like:
YouTube, ... , Blogs, and finally, "even more>>".

When I expand "even more>>" I see More Google Products EXCEPT "Page
Creator". Why is that missing?

It's not missing ... you need to go down one more level, under "Labs," as that's where Google Page Creator currently resides, along with a ton of other things.

That is true, but is NOT obvious. People looking for links will
follow things like "more>" or "even more>>", but won't click on a link
like "Labs" because that's not what they are looking for. I didn't
know that "Page Creator" would be under Labs, and I'll bet that's true
of many others. Something like "Page Creator" needs to be obvious,
not buried "down one more level".

No one ever said it was in an obvious location.  However, since it is a Google Labs project, and can technically be ended at any time, there is no need to place a link to it in the main navigation links or even in the Google Services page (where even more links to) because technically it is NOT a full Google service yet.

But isn't that true of Gmail too??

Yes and no... the point being that Page Creator is indeed a Google
Labs product. GMail is not and never was a Labs product. It's a "20
percent project".
