Although not as popular as the blogging platform owned by Google - Blogger, GooglePages has been quite popular for three years since its launch in Feb. 2006. But recently new sign ups at GooglePages were stopped and now the complete service is being migrated to GoogleSites. And because GoogleSites do not support custom CSS and JavaScript files, so it is advised to everyone to download all their files from GooglePages as soon as possible, and move to a new host.You can read about this GooglePages to GoogleSites Migration here:
[ http://pages.google.com/migrationInfo/YOUR_GOOGLE_ID ]
(And from this same location you can download all your files in zipped format)

And if you are worried about your CSS and JavaScript files that were hosted at GooglePages, then I would advice you to upload those files to HotLinkFiles.com and SigMirror.com, as both of these sites offer direct or hot linking of files, with considerable bandwidth limits.
And in case you still are not comfortable with GoogleSites, then you may of course try Blogger.
HappY SurfinG!!! (:
