I like the look of Google sites but I'm also wanting to do a daily blog and use blogger. Is there a way to use Google sites as a blog or should I use two separate but then I want the theme to be the same so is there a way to have it integrated together?
If you use blogger and are generating income using ads, stick with blogger. You can use the full page embed option to add blogger to your google site. It just depends on your needs.
@@shedesignsthings I'm starting new period I just don't like how my buns at the top of Google sites doesn't match the blogger. Was trying to make it seamless and make it look like one site
Please excuse me for the dumb question but I already added the noto emojis "font" and now I have no idea how to actually use it. Does every emoji have a code or something? Like :) for a smile?
Not a dumb question! Open a line of text - change the font to Noto emoji. Use your keyboard to add the desired emoji by using Windows logo key + . (period) or if you're on a mac Press Command + Control + Space. Keep in mind - not every emoji will work. :)
I have two videos about the newsletter: ruclips.net/video/GLp4o9e1tpk/видео.html - Flodesk, MailChimp, Google Sheets. Or Mailerlite: ruclips.net/video/toNLDC6wLMs/видео.html
Hi there, i got problem on navigate the page section. The issues is the page reload or redirect on the anchor link click. It doesn't smoothly scroll down like yours.
Hi, just found you on RUclips and subscribed. Great stuff! Does Google display ads on the pages we create? What about if we buy a domain name through them and they host it?

Hello, I've been looking on youtube for a long time how to put buttons with delay on google sites and I can't find it anywhere, could you answer me how I do this? how to put buttons with delay and how to hide the commands of embedded youtube videos? If you can answer me I would appreciate it.
You'll have to create html buttons with javascript. Here is an example I found on Stackoverflow - stackoverflow.com/questions/62250087/i-want-to-click-buttons-one-by-one-and-add-delay-how-to-add-delay For RUclips videos - My question is why? Here is a site that covers it: www.cincopa.com/blog/how-to-embed-youtube-videos-without-showing-controls/ I have not tried either method, but you are free to give them a go and let me know if they work. Another solution is try ChatGPT to write a code for you.
I have tried adding a lotti files animation using your procedure but it doesn't display after I paste the code into the embed url dialog box. What would you suggest I do?
It would depend on the file. Without seeing the error I don’t have any suggestions as to what you could do. You can always email me the issue. Or use the anonymous question link I have.
When I uploaded my logo, it's shows a small log. How do I resize it or expand it? When I click "edit logo", it just ask to upload an image. No resizing. I hope you can help
You'll have to resize your logo outside of Google. If your logo is a PNG and you're using a Windows 10 or 11 computer - open the photo in the photos app and select edit. Crop away any excess blank space. If you have no excess blank space your logo is likely too small and you'll need the original logo file to fix it.
I've been following your channel. And it helps a lot. Thank you for so much useful hacks in Google Sites. One thing I really really like to know: Can you embed a Google sites into another Google Sites? 😊
@@shedesignsthings IKR...bummer 😅 Let's collectively make feature requests/ improvement in sites community 😅😅😅 I think it's a helpful feature...keeps your customers' sites inside your site. Don't you think? Why else would we make portofolio websites?
This is amazing! You know Google Sites more than anyone I've seen!😱 I'm combing through your tutorials but couldn't find the Code you mentioned on how to make the Signup Form (Flodesk/Mailchimp/etc) not have the slider on the right.. I cannot get rid of it! Your signup form looks fab! No slider! Can you please direct me where to find the Code you mentioned? Thank you!🌸🙏🌸
It's actually inside your flodesk code. Locate the margins and change the requirements in the margins. I'll try to make a short video explaining this :)
@@shedesignsthings Thanks so much! I think I found the HTML Code "margin" part you are referring to.. i.e. it says: sr-only{position:absolute;width:1px;height:1px;padding:0;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);border:0} I found out there are 40 "margin" words in the code! Yikes! This is beyond my comprehension. And I don't know what to change in the code at all!😵 Will just wait for your RUclips shorts video😊
Depends on what type of navigation you're looking to have. You can link any page to a button, element (image) or text. This is how you can create a custom navigation without adding embed code.
You can create a custom navigation bar by using the text and collapse text feature or by creating a navigation in HTML and CSS. :) I can make a short video explaining this if you need.
I do not. This is because you would need to rebuild the site in the language that you would like. This is common practice for large scale companies, but for smaller businesses this would not work. If a person is using chrome they may be able to have the page translated into the language they prefer, but it is not a built in feature.

I love your friendly manner of presenting, you are the vibe ☺
So agreed about Noto Emoji. Much better than conventional emojis and renders uniformly across platforms and devices.
I like your presentation style. Very organic, lowkey and nice to listen to while I'm trying to learn all this new stuff 😅
I am very experienced with building G Sites, but your tips were amazing and will take my work to the next level! Also, your preaentation style is fantastic.

What font did you use for "hello, i'm doctor alena"?

Or Mailerlite: ruclips.net/video/toNLDC6wLMs/видео.html
Great info!! How do you make your google site buttons different colors? I thought they were tied to the theme and not changeable?
They are tired to the theme under default. If you change the default color this will change the button color.
@@shedesignsthings Yes. You have multiple button colors. How does that work? I've been playing with it and still haven't cracked it.
@@robertgregg8313 When you add a new button you can change the button type to Filled, Outlined, Text. This will give you different button styles.
Loved it!!!!! thanks so much!
hey there....how do you design the background that looks better and what fonts you are using?
There are roughly 3,000 Google Fonts. The fonts in Google Sites may differ from fonts offered on fonts.google.com. My backgrounds are images.
@@shedesignsthings how did you design those images and the hackscode for the color. Thank you
@@RolanArjan Which images? The Background images are from Canva as are the frames.
Hi there, i got problem on navigate the page section. The issues is the page reload or redirect on the anchor link click. It doesn't smoothly scroll down like yours.
How new is your website and when did you turn on anchors?
@@shedesignsthings just made it. DId you have any tutorial on that?
@@azeempawzi6963 No tutorial, but if you just made your site it tends to sputter for a bit. Give it time or submit a ticket to Google.
Hi, just found you on RUclips and subscribed. Great stuff! Does Google display ads on the pages we create? What about if we buy a domain name through them and they host it?
Ads are not allowed on Google Sites. Instead use Blogger - which is also a Google Product.
Great video. How did you get more themes??
I created them. You can create up to five seems per website and import various seems to the Google side panels from other google sites.
I just want to ask would it be possible if i were to import a external font onto google sites
@@everthingworld1437 Not to import a font natively. You could use html as an embed for font, but keep in mind there are over 3000 fonts to use in Google sites. Some are specifically designed for Google Sites.
Amazing video! Thank you!
This is a great instructional video. How much do you charge to update a google site that already has content on it?
Thanks for the nice video. Have you to host the site separately? or just publishing is enough?
The site is hosted by Google inside of your Google Drive
Do you know how do you add a popup in the header of google sites and connect it to Flowdesk?
Pop-ups are not aloud inside of Google sites.
Hi! How did you add the fields to fill for subscribing?
Use the embed element to embed code from subscription service providers like mailchimp or flodesk.
@@shedesignsthings awesome! Thanks!
@@shedesignsthings What if instead of subscribing I want a contact form (without using google forms)?
Wow. What a treasure trove of info. Thanks soo much
Great Video!! How do you add reviews to your google site?
The easiest way to show reviews is to use elfsight. You can also create something yourself using Google Business Profile API.

i didn’t know one important thing and that is that custom domains are naked domains.
have you inquired little bit more,
why is that?
I really like the way you talk and present. Hahaha i can fall in love just like that.
I am really having trouble making my site mobile friendly. How do you do that?
It should be automatically mobile friendly. An exception to this is if you have too many images in places where it should be a different element.
i have whole time a white bar in my google site is that normal? i cant remove it i cant fill it. if i add something new (a new block, etc) the white bar goes just a bit down... its direct above the footer and for me it feels buggy. is it possible to remove that white bar or change the color to something?
Hi! Do you know how to add pop ups on google sites? Thanks!
Google actively blocks pop up’s however. You can only add a pop up to a full page embed.
@@shedesignsthings :') thank you
Great tips, thanks!!
Hello there, I want to see a video on how to create a footer with all we see in footers.? thank you
