[jgmac1106] tantek google sites is so bad....it uses made up html and the latest version is drag and drop boxes with no source code. horrible teaching tool
tinfoil-hat joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] I mean but if you want to have a site up, live viva la google, don't care about HTML and want to be able to link all your docs and phots to a website Google sites is so good....
#
[jgmac1106] till you want to move and you look at source code...I have never done a Google Takeout of a Google Site..I do wonder if that spits out HTML...I knwo view source does not
#
[jgmac1106] and I am bias against any website that isn't human readable when I click view source
#
[jgmac1106] that being said I started this site years ago and it gets massive traffic, not really sure who is all using and editing it now: https://sites.google.com/site/textsandtools/

#
petermolnar [jgmac1106]: one would think google sites will at least mark everything up with shcema.org structured data; nope

#
[jgmac1106] yeah its very strange, you would think it would be a WACG gold standard as a CMS
#
[jgmac1106] ohh sorry for jargon...
#
[jgmac1106] What is WACG?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "WACG" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "WACG is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[fluffy] Google owns Blogger, which I’m really surprised they didn’t kill off as part of the Google+ Replaces The Web brainworm.
#
jacky I truly wonder if that's because so many teams use it internally and don't wanna migrate it so they've managed to make a 'business' case for it lol

#
[snarfed] externally, maybe. not internally

#
ndegruchy it is definitely an oddball service. Especially stacked up against the, rather full looking graveyard of other services

[tantek] what is Google Sites?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Google Sites" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Google Sites is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] [fluffy] I think they kept Blogger because they literally had so many external facing dependencies on it that they couldn't figure out how to transition (or the cost to transition to was too high)
wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] ^^^ could you attempt a minimal dfn of "Google Sites is ..." based on your experience? And maybe add that site you built as an IndieWeb Example?
