Google Sites – Home of my academic website

I like wordpress  as a blogging environment. And freebeehosting is a as great as a hosting platform can ever be. But for my academic materials, I need a hosting platform that is 24×7 available without any interruption. Google sites seemed to be a good option.

The BUET website management allows to upload 5 files at a time. So all I did was to create an index.html file with iframe set to my google site page.

Google sites give options to rapidly create a website. I edited a default theme to incorporate the BUET logo into the banner. Problem is, you can’t have any custom CSS or javascript code, and if you are logged in, the google icons appear overhead.

Nevertheless, it is where I am hosting all my course related materials.

Google Bangla Transliteration

If you are not familiar with the Bangla keyboards, and the avro easy keyboard doesn’t seem that intutive to you, here is what google offers: (http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Bengali)


Type “banglate shonskrito shomikkha”
you get: বাংলা তে সংস্কৃত সমীক্ষা

It is still a lab feature, so they’ll brush it up eventually. But it is better than most script interfaces I’ve ever used. (The worst being Bijoy)

Type “gogone goroje mesh ghono borosha”
গগনে গরজে মেঘ ঘন বর্ষা 
For Tegore or other unconventional spelling you may still need avro? Nah, just click on the word and select the correct spelling…
