Blogger (back in) Beta

Well it looks like my efforts to categorize my blogging has been rendered useless... but for a good reason:
Blogger is back in Beta.
Or rather, the new version is. And in a few days or weeks, we'll have plenty of new features to play around with.

Here are the more exciting features that are coming out in the new version:

  • Labels. Categorize your posts with labels. This basically makes my own list useless... which is just fine with me, cause it's annoying to update manually!
  • Reader Permissions. Just like it sounds, you can control who reads your blog. Perfect for private business blogs, or trading romantic posts with your girlfriend ;)
  • Template Editor. Finally, a real wysiwyg editor to make changes to your template! Lately, I've just been dropping my template into Dreamweaver to make changes, but this is easier and more accessible to the average user.
You can go and sign up for the new Blogger Beta, but will have to wait a little bit longer to convert your existing blog over to the new system... come on Blogger! Let's get the show on the road.
