It is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari that lets one toggle back-and-forth between Markdown and HTML. It's original use-case is for in composing e-mail, but it "works great" in Google Sites. Also, it supports TeX math formula, which for ...

Short answer
There isn't a global setting for comments in Google Sites, so the comments should be disabled page by page.
Extended answer
You could disable the comments option page by page manually. Unfortunately looks that there isn't a method to do this automatically by using Google Apps Script.
To avoid this problem in the future, create a page ...

After the suggestive comment from Vidar S. Ramdal, I decided to practically test whether different versions of the same file count towards total storage.
There can be three scenarios for this,

In HTML, the characters < and > are special (so are quotation marks in certain places). If you want these characters to appear, you'll need to encode them (as < and > respectively). The ampersand is used for encoding, and it follows that the ampersand is also a special character. If you want an actual ampersand to appear, you need to ...

The Picasa Album embed is very old and not development is happening on the Picasa side anymore. Eventually Google Photos might roll out a album embed but they have announced no such plans.

In order to make a tab show up in the navigation menu of your Sites pages, you will need to add it manually. Creating a new page doesn't add it to the navigation automatically.

Do you need it to be inline (display on in a page along with other content), or is it okay to be on a separate page?
I would suggest saving your resume as a PDF (note, this is good practice in general) and ensuring that it looks good in Google's PDF previewer. You can then attach it to any page in Google sites and reference it by URL.
If you need it to be ...

var url = 'https://sites.google.com/a/test.net/';

What is the maximum number of pages allowed on a Google Site?
From the Google Help document you reference, it states:
Pages per site: No set limit (see note below)
By thousands, do they mean 1000 or 10000 or somewhere in between?
I would interpret "thousands of pages" as somewhere in between 1,000 and 10,000. More than 10,000 pages and it would be "...

From their Google support page:
Note that anyone you set as "Can view," "Can edit," or "Is owner" must have a Google Account or Google Apps Account to share your site.
So the only way you can give someone else editing rights, is to have the person sign up for a Google Account.
