To create a new page, click on the first element of the page, named "Create a new page". It will show you a text box, where you can type the name that best describes your new web page.
When you click on the button "create and edit" the new page will be displayed. You Google page is ready to be edited to add your personal content.
Editing Your Page
A web page in Google Page Creator is divided into several sections. The top of the page is the header. It is normally displayed with large titles. Depending on the style of the page you are creating, there will be a sidebar, and a main area, where the main text of your page will go.
To edit the page, you can simply type you content in the main area, until you are done. The page you create are periodically saved on the system, so you don't need to worry about saving some of your work.
