This document provides instructions for adding grades to a Google Site by hosting the grades on a free web hosting service. It explains how to sign up for a free Tripod account, create a "Grades" page on the Google Site that embeds an iframe of the hosted grades, export grades from EasyGrade Pro as HTML files and zip them, upload the zipped grades file to Tripod, test that the grades display correctly, and update the hosted grades as needed by replacing the zipped files. The process allows teachers to securely share student grades online through their Google Site without exceeding Google's file hosting limits.
