Sometimes I think... Do you need to run a full blown CMS in accordance to have a successfull Blog? My answer is: definetly no. All you need is just to have some sort of alternative. What about running just a simple Google Site instead?

Some might argue that it's no the best solution, you can not add any scripts or plugins. And I'm like... Yeah, yeah. I understand your frustration to control your own website, its appearance and all of the other things coming with it....

But what if you do not need to add anything extra and you just want to type something instead without overwhelming yourself with a fancy sophisticated toolset while still being to focus clearly and not being too distracted by time wasting configurations? Maybe then a simple Google Site is what you are searching for.

There are not very many tools tools while we are speaking about customisations but there are more than enough functions to start your own blog, without diving into technicalities too much. Plus, this sort of website creation is always within reach from your Google Drive, which in a matter of fact is a well thought approach from Googles perspective (although Google Websites project was released in February of 2008 and this project is alive for almost two decades, yet still - not many people know about it).

Youtube vids, Docs, Calendars, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Charts, Google Maps, Buttons, Embeds, Files from Drive, Images, Text Boxes, Image Carousels to Build your galleries Table of Contents and even more - all of the basics to start your little business website are accessible from your Drive.
