How to Use Google Docs to Keep Track of Your Websites
ByOne of the things that happens when you take the Website Creation Workshop, is that you start to build so many websites that you have a hard time keeping track of them.
Well I have created a short little video (under 9 min) for you to show you how to use Google Docs to keep track of your websites.
Watch this and share your thoughts below

Hi Christina,
Your video on using Google docs is very informative – not only for keeping track of all the websites we create after taking your course, but also for Facebook, Twitter accounts, LinkedIn, Buzz and the many other social networks we are involved in.
Thanks for sharing,

Eileen,
great suggestion! You can use Google docs to keep track of all your accounts. And YOU get to decide WHO you want to share your Google doc with.
well, Christina I am glad to receive this about the google docs video and will look forward to see more stuff like this !
Robert,
Now you just need to watch my video on getting a gravatar!

Many thanks for your generosity! Great and very useful tutorial!
Great resource, Christina, and I can see lots of great uses for this strategy! Are you aware of any security risk of putting sensitive material like passwords online like this?
Elizabeth,
I do not know the details of Google Docs and Security risks. So if you are worried, don’t put your passwords in there. I used that password column as an example, you can put anything that’s important to you in each column.
The nice thing about Google Docs is that you can share them with the folks you are collaborating with.
And, it gives you one place that you can access from any computer (just like WordPress) to keep track of all your websites and domain names waiting to be websites
I like Christina’s teaching program more than ever. Each time she offers another nugget my knowledge grows greater by the sum of the parts rather than from each part by itself. My skills are improving thanks to your steadiness. This is adding another polished facet! I will include the theme name and version in my spreadsheet
. Thanks Christina, all ways.
Hi Christina
This is most useful information and I can see that it’s so simple. I went hunting for passwords and my ftp programme information yesterday and ended up so frustrated that I took out my scruffy notebook and set up an exel spreadsheet with all my data. Boy it certainly makes it lots easier to find things. I now just need to develop the habit to implement them as I go along, not waiting till later, because you do forget.
Cheers amd thanks, Diane
Another one that I find really useful is Evernote https://www.evernote.com/ This also is free. Evernote can used to “Remember Stuff”. You can copy and paste just about anything – web sites, parts of text, graphics, photos, links and on and on. You put Evernote on your computers AND the best part your mobile device – iPhone, Black Berry and lots of other devices. Works with Windows and MACs – works with browsers – you just click on the Evernote icom and add whatever you want to remember. These then appear on any computer or mobile device that you have synced to it. There are video tutorials on the site. Just put stuff you want to remember in on any computer or mobile you use and the info appears on all of you other devices that are synced to it. IE – shopping – I enter stuff I need unto a laptop, or the Apple at the house, add more stuff I need at the store on one of the PCs or the MAC and the list comes up on my iPhone. Or I find something – take a photo of the item or price with the iPhone and that photos come up on laptops and desktops both at the house and the store.
Ronald,
thanks for your comments about evernote.
One thing I like about Google products is that I know they are going to be around for a long time.
Right, like Google Wave.
Oops, they just discontinued that one.
P.S. We are looking forward to participating in the first WordCamp in Philadelphia, October 30, 2010. We were at WordCamp in NYC last year.
Christina,
Am really enjoying your tips about WP. Tried to download your free audio and PDF handout, but FF says the handout is corrupt, so I can’t view/ dl it.
Thanks.

Scott,
could have been an internet glitch. I just tried in FF and it worked. But I’m glad to see that you got it ok.
OK…managed to open it in IE 8, just an FYI.

I love Google products, thanks Christina. I have used all these features before, like to create my resume and to make a word document that me and my partner worked on simultaneously. But your idea is great too, I’ll be putting all my sites in Google Docs now.
Joe,
Yes I can’t seem to live without google docs for all my websites!
