Thanks, Jon. Does appending redirect information to NewAccount work as it does for createLoginUrl?
The button looks OK. I actually used to work for Google in marketing and remember when webteam standardized on that button, I'm not a huge fan of it, but I know it's used everywhere now. Personally I think the text is too bold and tight, and when I did some webpage optimization for some AdWords pages, we found that adding a "»" to a button increased clicks. I think it would be ideal to provide appengine users some control over this page (it looks like Google Moderator was able to customize it, will this feature be released soon), or at least the button. I prefer "Start now »" or "Click to begin »" based on the data we saw on the adwords homepage, "Click to begin »" performed very slightly but statistically significantly better than all other options (Sign up now, Get Started, Start Now). Thanks for the response, Alex P.S. I think we lived in castano together long ago...
