Tips and Tweaks
One look "under the hood" of the HTML code created by GPC dispels the enchantment of the Google's famous "it-just-works" mantra. The original GPC was notorious for creating messy HTML after multiple editing and for using deprecated tags and attributes. Some of these problems have been corrected in the current version of GPC, which uses STYLE attributes for most of the formatting.
Tips & Tweaks page provides suggestions for creating cleaner HTML code using the WYSIWYG GPC interface, and describes a few additional styling options available via the HTML Editor window.
Software
Useful software (both stand-alone clients and web-based) is briefly introduced and reviewed with an emphasis on features complementary to the GooglePages service.
