    i have whole time a white bar in my google site is that normal? i cant remove it i cant fill it. if i add something new (a new block, etc) the white bar goes just a bit down... its direct above the footer and for me it feels buggy. is it possible to remove that white bar or change the color to something?
  • Thanks for the nice video. Have you to host the site separately? or just publishing is enough?
