How to save your Google Pages data before it shuts down in June
Here are a few things that Google Pages could do that Google Sites cannot:
- Support CSS
- Support JavaScript
- Web hosting
Fortunately Google is making it easy to download all the files you've uploaded to your account as a single ZIP file. When you login to Google Pages you should see a message at the top of your screen letting you know about the upcoming migration. When you click "learn more" you should see a screen like the one above which lets you download all the files you've uploaded to Google Pages.
You should also get HTML files for any web pages you've created. This should be everything you need to re-create your web sites on a new hosting service, although this will require finding a new web host, uploading your files, and possibly adjusting a number of links in your HTML code.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".

I have lots and lots of stuff hosted on different googlepages I have. this will be a hassle... the upload on this was the best for pictures, nice and quick.
As an alternative, you could dump files on microsoft's Live skydrive. 25gb, and while it is a little 'harder' to upload, the site works nicely.
