OverviewGoogle Sites Digital Portfolio Creation Other Handy Hints:
- Use Goo.gl to shorten your URL
- If you link to a Google Folder, be sure to share the folder as "Public, View"
- Our agenda is typed up in a "Text Box"
- I always change "Layout" to Two Column with extra space above and below -- just for design and space separation.
- Some "gadgets" don't really work well as they were designed when Google Sites was first introduced.
- Always - when you list a link, be sure to select "change" and check the box to open in a new page - easier for navigation.
- I use the horizontal line a lot to separate out items.

+ to create new page - The Navigation Pane is set to "automatic" and will add your page.
