New Google Sites Features: Go Gadgets!

Today, we announced three new features in Google Sites that will make gadgets more useful for Google Apps Premier Edition customers:

1. Start Page template, so site owners can let users personalize areas of a site, such as an internal sales portal;
2. Private gadgets, which IT admins can upload and only domain members can see and add;
3. Encryption, whereby if a Google Site is encrypted, then your gadget data will be encrypted from the source code to the browser.
