Moving from Blogger to Google Sites

Until recently, Google did not have a web-design tool worth using. But with the launching of Google Sites this all changed. The product is becoming stronger and stronger every month as their development team continues to add features and flexability.

So the question becomes, when does one choose to post their work using the layout of a Blog, or design their own web-site using a tool like Google Sites?

• When the theme is sequence-oriented, a Blog works great. For example, posting daily lesson plans, students submitting work in sequential order, and hikers posting a daily log of their trip.
  
• However, when the theme is topical in nature, a web-site seems to to be much more appropriate. The challenge I was having with this Blog is there was no logical way to organize the topics, and wading through 40 Posts is certainly not very efficient. Here's a tutorial by the Google Sites team to get you started.

Meanwhile, I used Google Sites to rebuild my complete web site, including restructuring all the Posts on this eLearning Blog to make them easier and more intuitive to find.
