Redirecting your Google Pages Home Page
As found by Peter P Lupo
Before I even detail this technique I want to give credit to Peter P Lupo for finding this hack. It is the one that many google pages developers have been waiting for as they want to add content to the initial home page that can only be created by editing pages off line.
Simply on your home page click the edit HTML button and paste some java script within an image. It is so simple I can't believe I missed it. Below is the code:
<img src="javascript:document.location='ADDRESS'">
Replace ADDRESS with the address you would like to forward to.
eg. To redirect your page to my website you would put the following code in the HTML editor:
<img src="javascript:document.location=
'http://martin.blow.googlepages.com'">
If you want to redirect to another site just change http://martin.blow.googlepages.com to the address of the site you would like to redirect to.
Please note that after using this code the GPC editor reacts in a slightly unstable manner. As such if you get the link wrong you won't be able to use the Back to Page Manager link, instead you will need to use the back button in your browser. If you do make a mistake though after using the Back button in your browser you can go back to the page manager click on your HTML page and correct it.
When you are ready to publish it click on the publish button.
Please remember this is a bit of a hack to the home page, so if google make changes to the GPC editor it may not continue to work and could react in an unstable manner. For some of you though it will solve that all important problem you have been having.
Thanks to Martin Blow for the rephrased text.
