on a quick look I don't see how to move a bunch
of related files that forms a complex page to sites.google.com.
e.g. the freemind-produced html has a single html page and a
subdirectory that contains javascript, icons, a stylesheet,
images, etc. Am I missing something on a 10 minute scan?

Thanks
Erick
