Google is known for continually updating and changing its products, so some of the techniques described in the links below may no longer work and/or may no longer be needed as there may be new techniques / work-arounds to achieve the goal you are working towards. I'll keep the original links as a historical reference in case you are looking to recreate anything on this site so that you can either use the link (if it still works) or search for the "current" equivalent in the support forums. (Check the web archive if a link is text only.) I'll also update the top of this page with resources I still access frequently while maintaining the site and note any updates to links that effect the updates I am making to the site. My Frequently Accessed Links / Resources and/or Frequently Used Techniques: Always a good place to start to search for your questions and see the latest updates/problems/solutions. -Steegle's Article on Advanced Tables: http://www.steegle.com/websites/google-sites-howtos/advanced-tables I use tables a lot (with and without borders) to keep content organized across web browsers and viewing platforms. -Copied and pasted from below: HTML Tutorials: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp >Note: Google Sites does not allow full HTML modification, but some basic HTML can be added for formatting. Here's an example that does work: Creating "jump links" within the same page: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_locations Related Topics: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sites/thread?tid=346cbe5229275fc1&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sites/thread?tid=3ce716d5f5782e24&hl=en This technique may not be working with Sites at this time.

You can also purchase a domain name and assign it to Sites, although, if you are considering purchasing a domain name, it may also be worth investigating Google Apps Standard Edition as it offers a larger storage capacity for Sites (100Mb versus 10Gb) and bundles the associated features together (e-mail, calendar, documents) inside your domain name.
