10 seconds to build and host a new page? That’ll be Google then!

Wow, this is a real eye-opener! I managed to create a webpage in 10 seconds, and it’s hosted and ready to view online at: http://neil.shearing.googlepages.com/home

It’s very, very basic… what do you want from 10 seconds effort? ;-)

How does it work? You can use your Gmail account info to log in at this page… then Google displays a basic HTML editor in your browser… you just type text and highlight links. There are advanced controls for adding images, messing with fonts and layouts… but for sheer simplicity this has the “wow” factor.

Thanks to Alex for the tip… :-)

 BTW, if you don’t have a Gmail account, you can get an invite by giving Google your mobile phone number in (certain countries only) and getting an invite code sent to your phone via SMS (!)

Alternatively, add a comment to this post requesting an invite and I’ll try to send you one… I have a few available. :-)

    Thanks, interesting information. Sometimes you just need to upload basic information or something to get indexed and you can always make up your pages later.

    PS. If you still have any available please include me in the GMail invitations
