More Googling, and that's it.

Alright, this is the last thing I'm going to do with Google and that's it. I'm ready to move on. I'll just give one piece of advice: Google is awesome in so many ways. But, like any other invention or contraption, you need to read the directions, otherwise you are working with a ticking-time bomb. And it will show with your smarts; I promise.
So... here I go. Google has an application called Google sites. Maybe you know about this already. I, personally just found it not that long ago. Here's the link https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2F%3Fhl%3Den%26tab%3Dw3&service=jotspot&passive=true&ul=1
Ha, ha, ha. Nice link. If the link fails, get into Google. On the top of the page, click on more and select sites. Here you can create and publish your very own website. I have to admit this is a pretty nice feature. You have to create a Google account in order to begin putting your site together.
As far as building websites, it's an okay tool to learn with. It's not like super super awesome, but it's a very good start if you want to get into making a website. And, the best thing of all, it's free.
I know a little about building and publishing websites. You have to buy a domain name, which is the address. To buy a domain you have to find a business that sells them. It's like renting an apartment from a landord. If you don't pay, you lose your space.
And then, you have to build the site with the software of your choice. You usually download this onto your computer and it can be very expensive. One very cool thing about building a website of your own with your own domain is that you can make your things copyrighted. That way, nobody can take your intellectual property without saying where it came from. So guess who gets the credit? You do.
I'm not sure if Google would own your stuff, but my guess is, it probably would. This isn't to discourage you or put it down because I do think it's a good first try.
Copyright is a whole other issue though. With web stuff it can get sticky. And that's why I don't have a facebook page.
