I do find it extraordinary that to access Microsoft OfficeLive you have to be using Internet Explorer or Firefox. Chrome and Opera users just get a very badly designed page telling them their browser is unsupported. However, once you do get there you'll find a good web site building tool - all available on-line and with an interface that's better than Google Sites'.

At the time of writing Microsoft were offering free domain names too so you could have a smart site address too. That is a limited time arrangement, though, and you would need to pay to renew the domain at some point in the future and should you later decide to make a proper site and host it with that domain name transfersn't a simple matter.

Microsoft are still well behind Google in the field of on-line documents but have the edge on them here.
