Goodbye Site Layout Page

The Change
Hello everyone, +Kyle Horst here with www.kirksvillewebdesign.com once again with a Google Sites Update!

Edit Site Layout, for several months, existed in two places: 
  • More > Manage Site > Site Layout
  • More > Edit Site Layout
Now it is only available in the More dropdown menu. Google did give us ample warning that the old Site Layout page was going away, so it surprises me that so many people are confused. Anyway, this post is to help everyone out.

Here was the original article on this feature:

This is the only way to edit Site Layout now.

This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better...

For the first time you can actually embed a Google + environment, stream with posting capability into a website. They have made it super easy to do in the New Google Sites using the Embed URL tool. Before, it seemed that Google was intent on having most Google + content locked down in the platform with no export options. The security around Communities in particular seemed to be an obstacle. Anyways, now things are different. Sites and Google Plus have a new relationship and interaction within intranets is much better because of it. Check out the post from Google and their Support Documentation: Embed Google+ streams in the new Google Sites for more engagement July 30, 2018 We’re making it easier to embed Google+ streams in the new Google Sites. This feature is a top request from users who want to create more interactive and engaging sites.
