Then, I got a Google Site. (Classics)

Now I have to upgrade to the "New" Google Sites. It took me two years to figure out how to get my New Google Site verified, so it could be found on the web. Two freak'n years. There are no instructions on Google nowadays. You can't upload the little html files like you can do on Classic Site. It turns out that in order to validate the new site, I had to remove "home" from the URL. Nobody told me! There aren't any instructions anywhere!

I miss these fun websites. They were easy to use and you could cut and paste javascript and html. I liked it.
