But Leni, when you are building you web application, it is basic requirement that you would like to have your own web pages/ or google web page customized according to your requirements. Does not google allow you to do any of these? From your reply, it seems that second option (customizing google page ) is not possible, but can't we host our own web page on to google app ?? (offcourse in our domain). Also, I will definitely post this query separately to google folks!
