Configuring the Google Sites Connector

In this mini-tutorial, you configure the Google Sites Connector.

Livescribe Connect can send notes and audio to a Google Sites account as an interactive Pencast. To use this feature, provide the following:


  1. Click the Google Sites icon on the Connectors tab of the Livescribe Connect computer app.
  2. Enter your Google Sites login account information in Email and Password.
  3. In Site URL, enter the site to which you wish your notes and audio sent. You must first create the site in Google Sites.

    The site URL is generated for you by Google Sites. Note that the site URL and the site name are not the same. Your site URL will have a format such as: https://sites.google.com/site/yoursitenamehere/ . You should copy the site URL from Google Sites and paste it into this field. You can do this in one of two ways:

    • View the site in Google Sites and copy the URL from the address box of your web browser.
    • View the site in Google Sites, click the More Actions button, and select Site permissions. Then copy the URL from the Link to Share field.
  4. In Page template, accept the default value, Web Page—the template for a standard page on Google Sites. The Google Sites Connector will insert the pencast in the main text box of the page, above the Attachments and Comments gadgets.

    Alternatively, select Custom Template from the dropdown menu. A text box appears in which you enter the name of a custom page template.

    Note: Before using the Google Sites Connector with a custom page template, you must first create the template in Google Sites. The template must contain the [pencast] tag in the location where you wish the pencast to be inserted. See Creating a Custom Page Template in Google Sites.
  5. Click Test Connection to confirm the settings.
