Google sites blogger

Yes — Google Sites can directly embed both Blogger and YouTube, and it works very smoothly. This is actually one of the best ways to make a private or semi-private music / writing site. 🎹📖

1. Embedding YouTube videos (very easy)

In Google Sites:

Steps

1. Open your Site

2. Click Insert → YouTube

3. Paste your YouTube link or search

4. Click Insert

5. Resize and place it

Advantages

• Updates automatically

• Plays directly on your site

• Can be private or unlisted videos

Tip: Upload Ableton recordings as Unlisted on YouTube so only invited viewers can see them.

2. Embedding Blogger (creates a real blog inside your site)

This gives you true blog features:

• dated posts 📅

• archive

• labels/categories

• easy writing

Steps

1. Create a blog at Blogger.com

2. Open your Google Site

3. Click Insert → Embed

4. Paste your Blogger blog URL

5. Insert

Your blog will appear inside the site page.

3. Privacy works together

You can make everything restricted:

• Google Site → share only with invited emails

• Blogger → set to private readers only

• YouTube → set videos to Unlisted or Private

This creates a fully controlled private environment.

4. Example structure for a music / writing site

Home

• Introduction

Music

• Embedded YouTube performances

• Ableton compositions

Blog

• Embedded Blogger feed (journal, reflections)

Writings

• Embedded Google Docs essays

About / Contact

5. Major advantage for musicians using Ableton + Arturia

You can:

• Record in Ableton Live

• Export audio

• Upload to YouTube

• Embed instantly

No need for web hosting or coding.

6. One important limitation

Google Sites itself has:

• no comments

• no automatic blog system

But Blogger provides those if enabled.

If you’d like, I can show a very minimal “private music studio website” setup that takes under 30 minutes and works beautifully from a MacBook.
